GKI Community Pulse: Poll Survey

Hearing From Our GKI Community

At GKI, we work in community with systems change organizations and leaders. We see ourselves as all working together to achieve a future that is more equitable and harmonious. We are taking this opportunity to redesign how we support you and our community of leaders. We make a commitment to actively and openly share our practical tools, resources and stories and to create spaces for learning and working together to transform ourselves, our organizations and the systems around us.
