Access
Community engagement - We design and facilitate conversations, events, interactive digital and in-person opportunities, and creative ways to get the full community involved in creating their future.
We often survey different audiences belonging to varied demographics and psychographics. QuestionPro provides us unmatched features to tailor our surveys to suit different types of audiences, collecting all the insights we need.
Voice
Storytelling - We reflect the comments, voices and ideas of our community through creative storytelling, and we provide a platform for features that are co-created with community members.
Power
Capacity building - We provide accessible, interactive activities, workshops and events on a variety of topics – turning ideas into action, building volunteer teams, finding support. We offer immersive cohort programs – like Lived Experience Leaders, exclusively for diverse changemakers. We also facilitate and provide project management for groups and coalitions working on community-wide challenges and opportunities.
Events
Our community events are inclusive, fun, and designed to spark conversation and connection. Join us at our upcoming events!
