The immersion connects participants with community organizations already engaged in racial justice efforts. This real-world experience, which can take place either in person or over video conferencing, guides groups in discerning how they can put their learning into action. Facilitators set up the immersion experience with a local group or organization and use the program materials to guide the group in reflection around their experience.
