Community Engagement
We help communities lead better conversations.
Whether you're activating a new space, building a strategy, or shaping a vision for the future, the path forward should be informed by the people who are most impacted. We design and lead community engagement initiatives that are imaginative, inclusive, and grounded in local realities.
We work with municipalities, non-profits, cultural institutions, and other consultants to shape and deliver engagement that connects across difference and builds something meaningful, together.
What makes our approach different?
We meet people where they’re at.
Our methods don’t rely on a single town hall or online survey. We take the time to understand the rhythms of a place and the people who live there, and we adapt our approach accordingly.
We make it human.
Engagement can often feel like a formality. We see it as an opportunity for connection, creativity, and care. We create environments where people feel comfortable sharing their perspectives and excited to imagine what’s possible. That means using plain language, active listening, and creative tools that spark curiosity and deeper thought.
We design for inclusion.
Inclusive engagement isn’t just about who’s invited—it’s about how the process is shaped. We work closely with partners to identify bridge-builders and underrepresented voices, co-create pathways to participation, and offer multiple modes of contribution so people can show up in ways that work for them.
Our community engagement services include:
