For an intensive and cumulative learning experience, YWCA Madison offers a Racial Justice Certificate program for participants who attend all three of the Racial Justice course levels and complete reading and online assignments between the courses. We recommend, but do not require, that participants attend the courses in order of their levels (ie: 100, 200, then 300).
