About the Bring Consulting Team
Our vision is a world where every person feels a sense of belonging and has opportunities to contribute their unique gifts to a just society. In our work, we co-create processes that honor multiplicity and difference as well as empower participants to engage in ways that feel meaningful and fulfilling.
We work with artists, makers, and those who want to feel invigorated in their work, to use creativity as a force for change.
We offer facilitation, community engagement, program design, systems improvement, and organizational development support that is fueled by creativity and joy.
Whether you are a non-profit, government agency, philanthropic organization, collective, or an individual with big ideas, we believe that our work as consultants is to create the conditions that bring out the best in everyone we work with and for.
We want to help you develop programming, make a plan for launching new projects, garner insight from constituents in your community, create structure for connecting and learning with peers, or deepen the impact of your work.
