Community Engagement

"Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world; indeed, it's the only thing that ever has."

- Margaret Mead

In any democracy, the voice of the people speaks loud and clear. When the people participate, the community succeeds. Which is why engaging community members in the conversations that directly impact their lives is a sure way to guarantee upward mobility for everyone in a city, county, state, or nation. Whether we’re talking about bus routes, banking, neighborhood gardens, or voting rights, ensuring that the people’s voices bookend the conversation and inform every piece in between.

Community engagement clients can expect the following:

  1. Recruitment - recruitment of full team based on recommendations provided by the client.

  2. Training - comprehensive and regular training of entire community engagement team specific to campaign and compliance requirements.

  3. Scheduling - cross platform scheduling, including Tier 1, 2 & 3 backup schedules per shift.

  4. Reporting - Detailed daily, weekly, quarterly, mid point, and end of campaign reports drafted as agreed upon.

  5. Support - all teams are supported prior to, during, and after shift as well as over the course of the campaign.

Community Safety

Safety doesn’t happen by accident.” - Author unknown

We are seeing a gradual shift in what community safety looks like.

From Pride celebrations to youth events to healthcare clinics, organizations are beginning to adopt a more community centered approach that focuses on trust and de-escalation. Neighbors are restructuring neighborhood watches, communities are instituting skill shares, and people are spending their weekends learning the basics of situational awareness to keep their families, friends, and loved ones safe.

The everyday individual is realizing that when the world is hit by pandemics and natural disasters, the people around us is who we rely on.

To help build a mutual aid strategy to support community-led safety, we have designed a comprehensive and accessible series of trainings on:

  • Situational awareness and de-escalation

  • Evacuation & shelter-in place plans, and

  • Scenario-based security protocol for every potential contingencies

    At the end of every training, it is our hope that attendees feel more prepared about what their strengths are and how to further sharpen them.
