The ToP Network values diverse experiences that contribute to the body of knowledge that helps us all improve, support, and thrive in our understanding of one another and ToP practices.  This is an invitation if you identify as a Black, Brown, Indigenous, and/or Person of Color (BBIPOC) and use the ToP Methods in your facilitation practice to be part of the Community of Practice (CoP).

  • A space to freely discuss our experiences, struggles, etc., around being BBIPOC Facilitators
