We focus on facilitating meaningful partnerships and place-making, to create a collaborative space for social work practitioners and students, community development professionals, environmental advocates and volunteers to access a wide range of opportunities. We use strengths-based, bottom-up, empowering and capacity building frameworks to support partners in their project design, implementation and evaluation.
We actively pursue opportunities to collaborate with organisations and groups to support their sustainable community development projects and environmental advocacy campaigns. Contact us to explore collaboration opportunities.
