Planning & Placemaking
All things are by design. Therefore, planning is imperative when dealing with diverse populations. COVID-19 has exposed the disparities and inequities that communities befall due to lack of or no planning.
We offer a comprehensive planning department that can interface with all people, utilize their feedback, and create a plan to help communities be more resilient and thrive.
Development, Implementation, Research & Evaluation
We provide an array of policy development. We work with you to fashion policies that will be adopted on all levels and provide a detailed implementation plan.
And as always, track the outcomes and impacts of these policies through our full-service evaluation plan. From there, if there need to be revisions, we can pinpoint areas that can be further developed to achieve the results you desire.
Food Equity & Justice
This work is imperative to provide equitable access to healthy foods, eradicate unhealthy food behaviors and chronic illnesses, especially in low-wealth communities.
We also specialize in the education of implementing healthy eating habits and lactation work in the area of food & nutrition, specifically in increasing access to healthy foods and implementing healthy food service guidelines.
Executive Leadership, Resource Allocation, Board Development
We provide a plethora of options, whether contract management or training and development, for new staff and board members. We have strong, professional executive leaders, grant writers, financial managers, and facilitators to help you fine-tune the vision for your organization. Whatever you need to help your organization flourish and grow, we can accommodate you.
Hear then Act
We believe that all of our work must be inclusive of those who will be impacted the most. So, we engage the community in innovative ways. We are not your average firm that relies solely on surveys. Thus, we go to the community to hear what is beneficial to their evolution and progression. We are very thoughtful in our community engagement because no two communities are the same. Therefore, we provide micro and macro results/data that can be used for years to come.
Cultural Competency & Sensitivity
Do you want to make your organization more diverse? Do you feel compelled to do your part in creating equitable opportunities for persons of color? Do you serve diverse populations? If so, we can assist you with staff training and development to address racial inclusion and diversify your organization.
We also provide education in working with diverse populations to build genuine, trusting relationships with clients. Our goal is to provide you with a plan and continuous technical assistance in ensuring that people of color, all genders, abilities, religious preferences, and ethnic backgrounds see your environment as a safe space.
