Fairbanks Coalition Builders

  • The Fairbanks Coalition Builders (FCB) team is an affiliate group of the National Coalition Builders Institute (NCBI). NCBI has been leading diversity, equity, and inclusion work for over thirty years. The NCBI skills have contributed to group healing, community building, and supporting leadership development.

    To support organizations in reaching their diversity, equity, and inclusion goals, the District's Fairbanks Coalition Builders (FCB) team has developed a 3-hour interactive training. This training is a real opportunity to bring people together and deepen appreciation, empathy, and trust.

    • Welcoming similarities and differences in all groups
    • Examining Unconscious Bias
    • Conflict Resolution
