Community By Design
A Course on Building Work, Projects, and Partnerships Rooted in Care
Your work doesn’t exist in a vacuum — it lives in ecosystems of people, histories, needs, and relationships. This course teaches you how to design with community, not for them. This course helps participants shift from extraction to collaboration, from assumptions to listening, from top-down decisions to shared authorship.
You’ll Learn How To:
- Identify stakeholders and understand their lived experiences
- Conduct empathy-driven interviews and observation walks
- Hold space for multiple truths and complex narratives
- Map the interconnected systems impacting your community
- Co-create solutions grounded in dignity, inclusion, and trust
- Build long-term relationships instead of transactional ones
Why It Matters
Because real impact isn’t imposed — it emerges. It’s grown in partnership, nurtured with curiosity, and sustained by accountability.Want to See if This Course Is Right for Your Organization or Community Work? Let’s talk about what you’re building and how I can support you.
