What is Cultivating Justice: A Quest Toward Racial Equity? Cultivating Justice: A Quest Toward Racial Equity, or the “Quest,” is a voluntary program that moves people through a collection of projects and resources available at quest.uni.edu. The resources on the website were made by and for people in the Cedar Valley to promote racial justice and activate change in our communities. The Quest’s collection of local materials include essays, videos, performances, artwork, music, podcasts, toolkits, events, and more.

How long is the Quest? The Quest is six weeks long. Each week, participants on the Quest will receive a newsletter that will guide them as they cultivate habits of consciously and consistently practicing anti-racism. We recommend setting aside at least one hour per week to engage the materials. If participating with a small group, we recommend setting aside an additional hour each week for discussion.
Who can join the Quest? Anyone can participate in the Quest. However, materials and projects are most appropriate for people over the age of 18.
