The Umoja Community Education Foundation is excited to welcome all Umoja Coordinators to the 2023 Annual Winter Retreat. The Winter Retreat is a convening of the Umoja community coordinators to set the tone for the year and collaborate and share strategies with other Umoja practitioners and partners.
