The Social Justice Fund

For over 20 years, guided by our Principles of Equity and Inclusion, Winsor has supported a broad range of efforts, including curriculum and pedagogy development, affinity groups, social justice programs, assembly speakers, and travel to and participation in conferences and workshops, all designed to foster a more inclusive school community and to give students the tools they need to work for change in the world. The Social Justice Fund helps expand Winsor’s programming at a time when anti-racism, equity and social justice work are critical to understanding ourselves and the world in which we live.
