KINSHIP COHORTS

The first step to join our collective is to participate in a Kinship Cohort session.

Our next Kinship Cohorts are beginning July 2026.

MEMBERSHIP DETAILS

    • Cohorts have structured meeting times over their duration. Specific times will be named once you choose a cohort.

    • There will be opportunities to meet in-person or online.

    • There are ongoing opportunities to continue cohort work.

  • All participants contribute financially through a monthly sliding scale fee. No one attends for free. Everyone invests in the space in the way they can.

    Sliding Scale Tiers:

    • $10/month – Rooted in Community → For those navigating financial barriers shaped by systemic inequities but still committed to the work.

    • $25/month – Sustaining the Work → For those who can contribute a little more while balancing other financial responsibilities.

    • $45/month – Resourcing the Movement → For those with financial stability who can support at a sustaining level.

    • $65/month – Redistributing Access → For those with greater financial privilege who can help remove barriers for others.

    Payment Guidelines:

    • Participants self-select their tier based on guided descriptions.

    • Payments are due at the start of each month.

    • If finances feel tight, please don’t carry that alone. Reach out, and we will work with you—this is a shared space, and we hold each other with care.

    • Cohort Commitment: By enrolling, participants are committing to the full six-month cohort. If a participant chooses to withdraw before the cohort ends, they are still responsible for paying the full six months of fees, regardless of early departure. 

    • All participants must volunteer monthly, selecting roles that support the group and Unity Project’s work.

    • Roles include event support, admin help, outreach, tech/media, and logistical support.

    • Volunteers sign up each month based on availability and capacity.

    • This is a community-led space—participants check in with each other if commitments are missed.

    • If someone does not meet their payment or volunteer commitment, they will:

      1. Receive a check-in from their peers (first step).

      2. Be given an opportunity to make up missed contributions (if applicable).

      3. Receive admin follow-up if non-participation continues.

      4. Lose access to the affinity group if commitments remain unmet.

UP & ROOTED

Restoration, shared healing and joy.

A space to be in community with others whose lives have been shaped by systemic disinvestment, generational trauma, and structural harm.

Details & Registration

GROUND WORK

Reflection, growth and repair.

A space where I can reflect on how I’ve benefited from–or participated in–systems that have caused harm. I want to be held in honest conversation, supported in my learnings, and accountable to showing up differently.

OUR WORK

We believe music can help create a diverse, equitable, and healthy community. Grounded in song, our work extends into education, service, and collective healing. We offer rigorous, culturally-rooted training that confronts systemic injustice, honors historical truths, and supports personal and communal transformation.

OUR COMMUNITY

Our members undergo a rich and intense community-building process. We “create brave space together,” learn about our diverse backgrounds and histories, and discuss topics that are difficult for multi-racial groups to tackle.

OUR TEAM

Rather than focusing on performance as a singing group, we wanted music to be used as a tool to foster connectedness, break down biases, and build understanding around cultural differences. Our founding directors train individuals and organizations in our community around racial equity.

COMMUNITY NORMS

Our members undergo a rich and intense community-building process. We “create brave space together,” learn about our diverse backgrounds and histories, and discuss topics that are difficult for multi-racial groups to tackle. We partner with many outside sources in order to do this successfully. We seek to amplify voices that are often unheard, and we challenge ourselves to question our beliefs.

Through this process, we have created community norms for our membership that we’re proud to share with you below:
