Activating everyday adults to create a community by everyone for everyone
We are facilitators, conveners, and space creators dedicated to elevating the lived expertise and leadership potential of everyday adults. We bring residents together across difference to build trust, collective knowledge, and power to drive change on the issues most impacting our communities.
When we are all involved in shaping our communities, we are all better off.
Building a flourishing society requires addressing our most persistent problems. For that, we need to draw on the diversity of perspectives in our communities, especially lived expertise. Missed perspective is missed opportunity. That’s why our locally-focused programs are centered around elevating proximate experts, promoting equity in decision-making, and building solidarity across difference–so that, together, we can shape our policies, institutions, and systems into ones that benefit us all.
We’ve supported over 200 everyday leaders who are driving community-centered change, from introducing new legislation to transforming organizational culture.

Our toughest problems require a shift in how organizations and residents work together. We are building new ways for organizations and residents to be in community - centering trust, reciprocity, and co-creation.
