WHAT WE DO

A clear, strong strategy allows an organization to amplify and maximize its impact. We partner with clients to diagnose program needs, make choices, and build opportunities that will change the trajectory of their students and communities they serve. We do this through:

• Needs assessment

• Multi-regional growth strategy development including growth targets, priorities, and opportunities for innovation and piloting

• Theory of action formulation, goal setting, and strategic planning

• Program design, staffing and financial models

• Labor analysis and “go to market” strategy

• Viable funding and revenue stream assessment

• Qualitative and quantiative methodology approaches

• Donor and Board engagement

Our team members have firsthand knowledge of what it takes to build and maintain strategic partnerships. We can help build or improve community partnerships between K-12 districts, sports foundations, institutions of higher education, workforce training pathways, and corporations. Specific offerings include:

• Community engagement strategy and execution

• Youth programming and outreach events

• Strategic partnership development, analysis, and execution

• Memorandum of understanding (MOU) creation and execution

• On-going partnership management and tracking

• Action planning to expand and scale partnership impact

We create culturally relevant curriculum that is customizable and inclusive of multiple postsecondary pathways. We partner with clients to build or improve curriculum that aligns to state and regional context. We do this by:

• Conducting a current curriculum and training audit

• Building instructional design and programming that builds on student assets, lifts voices, and promotes empowerment

• Creating training and professional development for school systems and employers

• Equipping instructors with customized course materials that align with their curricula

• Ensuring curriculum and training are culturally responsive and align to the personal aspirations of every student
