Committee Member for Psychologists of Color, Inc. (POC)

Join Psychologists of Color, Inc. as a Committee Member

Help shape the future of psychology and expand access to culturally responsive mental health care.

Psychologists of Color, Inc. (POC) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization advancing racial justice and equity within the field of psychology. We address a critical and growing gap: the increasing mental health needs of communities of color alongside the limited number of psychologists of color available to serve them.

Our mission is to increase the racial and ethnic diversity of the psychologist workforce by supporting future and current psychologists of color — and we can’t do it without committed, values-aligned volunteers.
