BOLD Readiness Survey

This survey uses five questions to help you determine your readiness for BOLD. Since BOLD is not a Racism 101-style program, we've provided this survey to help everyone determine their comfort and familiarity with key concepts around race and class.

Anyone can take this survey to help determine their BOLD readiness. However, we're asking everyone who plans to participate in the white caucus to fill it out. This survey, combined with a white Caucus cap of 30 participants, is intended to help promote a learning environment where most people are starting from a similar place. It will also help balance the race-based caucuses so that BIPOC participants make up a larger share of the total combined BOLD cohort.

This survey should take 2-5 minutes. Thank you!

Interpreting Your Survey

If you answered "Yes" to the first question, BOLD is not your next step. It's wonderful that you want to continue your learning. You are invited to check out these resources to further your understanding of how race and class operate in the United States.

If you answered "No" to the first question, add up the numbers next to each of your responses to get your Answer Total.

Note: Question 5 is an unscored question.

If your total is 8 - 13, BOLD is not your next step. You are invited to check out these resources to further your understanding of how race and class operate in the United States.

If your total is 14 - 16, BOLD will stretch you a bit. We ask that you take some time to explore these resources before BOLD Academy starts and invite you to take a risk and make a commitment to racial justice. Continue to registration.
