We Engage in an Integrative Approach
Center for Collective Action integrates education, research, community organizing, advocacy, wellness, and communications. We develop leaders, generate and employ evidence-based practical solutions, mobilize people into action, advocate for long-term solution-oriented policies, prioritize health and wellness, and are loud and specific about the work professionals and community leaders are jointly doing.
EDUCATION
Education is a continuous process that builds strategic thinking, encourages innovation, and helps individuals understand their role in advancing community change.
RESEARCH
The research we conduct ensures the knowledge we produce reflects lived experiences and is shaped by those most impacted. We make our findings accessible and useful for developing and evaluating evidence-based practical solutions.
ORGANIZING
Community organizing allows us to build power and momentum. It equips leaders to take action within and across communities, creating space for collaboration and shared leadership.
ADVOCACY
Advocacy empowers marginalized communities to shape solutions while constructing and promoting policies that bridge divides and foster systemic change.
WELLNESS
Health & wellness promotion by prioritizing joy, rest, and healing is how we discourage burnout and disenchantment with collective-oriented work.
COMMUNICATIONS
Our communications support this work by ensuring our messages are clear, compelling, and appropriate for each audience, whether we are speaking to community members, decision-makers, or professional peers.
