Leadership Impact for Transformative Systems (LIFT) is a community-driven initiative that supports BIPOC women in mid-management roles to thrive in leadership. We empower individuals while equipping organizations to foster equitable, safe, and inclusive workplaces. Backed by the Government of Canada (Women and Gender Equality Canada), LIFT advances gender equity by bridging systemic gaps in career progression.
LIFT is a series of tailored trainings and a mentorship program for BIPOC women navigating leadership in the public sector, with a focus on those in small to mid-sized organizations. Through research-informed workshops, 1:1 engagement, and customized support, LIFT addresses the barriers that BIPOC women face due to systemic discrimination, racial bias, and lack of organizational infrastructure. We also work directly with managers and institutions to build capacity, accountability, and sustainable equity practices.
LIFT centers lived experiences of BIPOC women, offering mentorship and skill-building designed to support their leadership journeys.
Organizations receive strategic, evidence-informed support to develop equitable leadership pathways aligned with their specific goals and operational context.
We serve organizations across BC, with a strong presence in Metro Vancouver, Vancouver Island, the Okanagan, and Northern BC. Our flexible model includes in-person and virtual engagements tailored to your needs.

We equip managers with practical tools to recruit, retain, and promote BIPOC women more effectively.
Despite qualifications and commitment, BIPOC women often face systemic barriers that hinder their upward mobility. This program exists to create tangible pathways for those women—and to ensure organizations can evolve without leaving equity behind. LIFT is designed for public and small-to-medium organizations ready to act on gender and racial equity. It’s also for BIPOC women in leadership roles seeking mentorship, support, and a space to thrive.
