I have worked with Roots & Rivers as a contractor for design and facilitation of a social innovation lab, and as a partner in co-developing community dialogues in service of newcomers. In both cases, the team brought exceptional commitment, insights and skills in delivering respectful, effective and engaging experiences. Prioritizing inclusion of experiences and expertise of those we are serving, tailoring strategies, and co-developing creative and bold ideas are among Roots & Rivers' team's myriad skills. Our collaborative work resulted in processes and deliverables that exceeded project outcomes.
