MCIC hosts various Community Support Groups based on the needs and demands at any specific time. Affinity groups have become popular places for community building, cultural identity, and social action. While student groups come and go based on the nature of the student experience, MCIC consistently hosts and or sponsors several support groups including:  Students of Color & Allies (SOCA) is a group which focuses on creating a supportive space of rest and renewal for BIPOC students and hosted by MCIC staff. The group is open to undergraduate and graduate students, staff, alumnx, and faculty but centers on the student experience. This group meets in the Center for Culture, Identity & Social Justice.  Queer Coalition is devoted to curating a community-based organization that strives to curate spaces for Queer folx. This coalition is persistent in its endeavors to transform the dialogue about Gender-based violence, restorative justice, queer liberation, and BIPOC reparations/excellence. We are looking for passionate, compassionate, and fiercely educated individuals who seek to transform systemic dialogue about queer folx from the inside out. This group decenters and socially dismantles whiteness by seeking to decolonize the history, current affairs, and future ambitions of the queer community. Through compassionate communication, mutual aid, wisdom in action, and fierce acceptance of ourselves, we hope to encourage Queer and BIPOC leaders and their social development in compassionate community.  JEDI Ambassadors are volunteer community members of staff and faculty committed to being advocates for JEDI within our Naropa community and beyond. Ambassadors support ongoing education, dialogue, and practice of JEDI values. JEDI Ambassadors provide Consciousness Cafes weekly throughout the semester.   Past Community Support Groups include: Anti-Racist Whites & Allies  Accessibility Advocacy & Support Group  International Community   Spirit of the Warrior Veteran & Ally Group  Witnessing Whiteness
