Values

We are collaborative and humble – we treat communities as the experts that they are and build off of their knowledge

We create a culture of belonging through our work and our every-day interactions, embrace and support communities who have historically and intentionally been excluded and we prioritize culturally and linguistically-competent community engagement, community planning and collaboration.

Our focus is on storytelling and elevating the stories from communities on the ground.
