Social Current works to ignite change to drive toward an equitable society where all people can thrive. In partnership with our national network of social sector leaders, we co-create responsive, effective, innovative strategies for breaking down barriers to equity and advancing positive outcomes for all.
To drive equitable solutions, we focus on key areas that positively impact the well-being of families and communities.
At the nexus of families and communities, community-based organizations play a transformative role in implementing equitable, whole-person solutions and improving the context in which individuals, families, and communities live. Community-based organizations are essential to helping realize our vision of a society where all can thrive. They are invaluable contributors to:
Confronting racist practices and advancing equity at the individual, organization, and systems levels.
Organizations will be most effective in their equity, diversity, and inclusion (EDI) journey when they build an organizational culture that has EDI deeply embedded at multiple levels. Social Current’s EDI consultants utilize cross-sector partnerships and their leaders to co-create and strengthen equity in an organization.
Applying brain science principles to practice and policy so that we can build resilience, increase equity, and reduce the impact of toxic stress.
A collaborative experience where participating organizations will determine their own paths for creating the transformation best suited to their unique needs. The process of embedding brain science principles will lead to improved outcomes for children and families. In addition, it will further enhance their organizational cultures and leadership ability to work collaboratively with partners to build better service systems and policies.
Equipping leaders with the skills they need to address adaptive challenges, lead systems change, and create lasting impact.
Leading innovations in the sector that will improve health equity, enhance programs, and increase revenue for community-based organizations.
