Our Approach

We empower communities to leverage their strengths and resources, connecting them with allies to identify innovations in education-to-work. Our research uncovers strengths and challenges, enabling organizations to craft targeted solutions.

Social problems often have local solutions from informal leaders. We unite community ideas, talents, and resources to form a network of problem solvers for lasting impact by mapping efforts, strengths, and gaps for sustainable solutions.

We identify leaders and create structures for all partners to engage in solutions. Leaders offer insights into deliverables and success metrics, resulting in a detailed plan for stakeholder engagement for real impact.

Successful change needs more than simple answers. Sustained impact demands understanding community change levers and leadership commitment over time. We build on earlier phases to implement innovative learning models and new thinking and doing approaches.

Sustained growth is less about scaling a single solution and more about adapting a solution to new conditions to meet the challenge of the time. We take what works, learn from what does not, and adapt solutions to meet communities’ education and workforce needs.
