The MCW Coalition Builders Team regularly offers the National Coalition Building Institute's (NCBI) award-winning Welcoming Diversity Workshop which has been presented to thousands of groups throughout the world, including schools, colleges and universities, corporations, government agencies, trade unions, religious institutions, and community organizations.

- Examine how identities shape and impact our leadership
- Explore our “records” about other groups, as well as the messages we’ve internalized about our own groups
- Identify and express pride in the groups to which we belong
- Hear stories about how oppression and discrimination have impacted ourselves and others
- Talk about how to effectively dialogue with someone who has made a hurtful comment, joke, or slur
