Connecting the Cause is a volunteer engagement consultancy dedicated to keeping community at the center of care. We exist to reimagine volunteerism by identifying and uprooting harmful service practices so that dignity and respect lead instead of pity and power.
We help guide organizations and leaders of volunteers apply the principles of Co-Dreaming through intentionally designed workshop, curated resources, coaching and hands-on consulting.
We teach individuals and organizations how to identify, challenge and uproot power, privilege, white supremacy and paternalism in volunteerism while reimagining a new future for service, for Co-Dreaming. We incessantly advocate for voices of color to be heard, recognized and valued in the service and volunteerism sector. This work is about taking the focus off of outside volunteers as heroes and putting community work back in the hands of the community for ultimate direction and implementation.
