We believe that solutions built to create positive community impact begin by forming strong partnerships with those who have been directly impacted by a system. Our organization envisions communities working in partnership with lived experience partners to advance their efforts in implementing and executing effective solutions that bring community well-being. We are dedicated to actualizing our vision by ensuring that our focus is supporting lived experience partners in leadership development, self-advocacy support, and systems change. Additionally, we serve to fill the needs local systems with support that equips their teams with the necessary tools needed strengthen their lived experience partnerships to advance their efforts and contributions to their local system change efforts.

A facilitated curriculum developed by lived experience aimed to support leadership development that is dedicated to strengthening systems change knowledge for lived experience partners.
Helping communities develop community access pathways for engagement to systems change efforts, so that those who have experienced the involvement of systems are equal partners in community well-being solutions.
Supporting individuals who are currently navigating systems so that they can better advocate for themselves and their families.. This helps us better understand the current conditions of the system and problem solve real time.
