INCLUSANT, LLC
WHAT IS INCLUSANT?
Inclusant is a social enterprise that operates differently than most businesses by promoting targeted universalism and human rights, rather than profit.
We facilitate inclusive spaces for diverse people to connect where justice meets joy.
Since its founding in 2014, Inclusant has consulted with over 100 organizations, offered dozens of public trainings, and sponsored major social justice projects in Pittsburgh. Inclusant clients are diverse, including corporations, non-profits, universities, museums, service organizations, and grassroots activists.
Recognizing the urgent need for high-quality online equity education, Inclusant has designed a unique curriculum for building awareness, skills, and knowledge. It includes original research, dialogue-based inquiry, experiential learning techniques, and evidence-based strategies for making change.
