PSE serves as the Racial Equity Champion for the TransFormation Alliance (TFA), a broad partnership of organizations from the private, public and nonprofit sectors dedicated to creating thriving, mixed-income communities anchored by transit and linked to all the opportunities and amenities that make Atlanta great. Part of PSE’s work as the Racial Equity Champion has been to develop and execute the TFA Academy, a resident-focused training program, primarily serving communities in southwest Atlanta.
Transformation Academy
Transformation Academy
The TransFormation Academy gives residents the tools to become leaders in the revitalization and transit planning of their community. The Academy is five sessions long; each a mixture of lecture, group discussion, hands-on engagement, and take-home activities based on the following topics:
A People’s History of Planning in Metropolitan Atlanta
Equitable Transit-Oriented Development
Arts and Culture Equity
Mobility, Job Access, and Affordable Housing
Climate Justice and Health Equity
Development Planning and Players
Claiming Power to Influence Growth and Development
By participating in the Academy, residents gain an increased understanding of equitable transit-oriented development, the planning process, key roles in development, and how to make a difference in their community.
We also offer a Youth Summer Camp edition for young people ages 13-17.
