Community Social Justice
At FDL, we believe that sustainable social change requires informed commitment, an intentional roadmap, and bold action. With that in mind, we provide a complement of high-impact, human-centered services, customized to help you chart and navigate your unique social justice journey from beginning to end.
We offer experiential training workshops, individual/team coaching, and capacity-building technical assistance, to meet one-time needs or support long-term initiatives. These transformative services are designed to raise awareness and galvanize action around social responsibility, social service, and social justice engagement, both individually and collectively.
Our social justice audit process creates an intentional roadmap for long-term strategic planning, by identifying social performance gaps and priorities; concrete objectives and doable activities, with which shape an organizational culture that promotes diversity, equity and inclusion.
We work hand-in-hand with our client-partners to design and manage both one-time and longer term social justice initiatives, aimed at addressing specific issues of inequality that arise from unjust and discriminatory policies and practices.
We are also experienced in delivering memorable and informative speeches at conferences and other special events that help inspire and mobilize social change around important issues like gender/racial equality, criminal justice reform and civil rights.
We work in partnership with governmental agencies and non-profit service providers, businesses and communities to create sustainable cultures of social justice, grounded in diversity, inclusion and equity. As social justice advocates and change agents, we make our client-partners’ goals and initiatives our own, using our expertise and experience to facilitate social justice solutions that deliver impact and promote community engagement.
