SERVICES WE OFFER
|
Facilitation
We engage communication and conflict resolution techniques (e.g. Mediation, Alternative Dispute Resolution, and Restorative Justice) to facilitate dialogue sessions, meetings, and teambuilding experiences that promote consensus building, process and strategy design, and community engagement. |
Evaluation
We collect data to help you learn and make informed, strategic decisions. We assess, analyze and report out on processes to improve - not just prove what works. Our applied research approach is driven by Data Justice and draws from Black / Intersectional Feminism, and Decolonizing Methodologies. We prioritize utilizing Participatory Action Research methods. |
Advising
As your thought-partner, we support the important, complex, and challenging work you are doing with the tools, feedback and strategies to clarify problems and identify solutions. This can look like coaching and/or training. Training and curricula are customized to your organization's unique needs and context. |
