Diversity in Leadership Institute’s mission is to create equitable outcomes for Black and Latinx students by building a movement of racially diverse and culturally responsive public education leaders. Their vision is that leaders in Californian public schools will reflect and honor the diversity of the communities they serve and achieve equity for Black and Latinx students. Diversity in Leadership Institute identifies, cultivates, and activates Black and Latinx leaders and allies to serve as change agents, to close the achievement and opportunity gaps for children of color, through growing talent pipelines for excellent school leadership and advocacy. The DILI vision is to build and accelerate strong school leaders and advocates of color, to create equitable K-12 school systems in the state of California, ultimately improving the academic, social and emotional well-being for youth of color.
