We work with partners, communities, and clients in several ways. Check out our services below and contact us if you’d like to chat about working together.

CLIENT PROJECTS

We work with towns and local governments, non-profits, and other consulting teams. Projects range from multi-year stakeholder engagement or planning to simple products like maps, communication materials, resources, and events.

 

QUICK CHATS & CONSULTS

Need some quick advice? We offer quick consultations to help people think through engagement and planning challenges, offer ideas and examples from other places, or scope and develop projects and grant proposals.

Reach out to book a 60- or 90-minute call, or request a quick review or project scope.

 

CREATIVE OPPORTUNITIES

We love to experiment and get creative in our work and team up with creative partners. Sometimes we seek grants or resources to support our own ideas.

Got a fun idea? Interested in dreaming or teaming up? Reach out.

We believe that people have the power to make great things happen in their neighborhoods, communities and organizations. Our job is to give you the tools and skills to do it.

Community Workshop brings creative engagement, placemaking, communications, and strategic planning to towns, cities, and non-profit organizations across North America. In association with EcoPlan International, we are a team of facilitators, urban designers, land use planners, and economic development experts. 

We bring a wide range of tools and offerings to help communities engage residents, consider their options, make smart plans for the future, and spark change. We offer both cutting-edge and time-tested approaches, high-tech tools and low-tech engagement techniques, technical processes and grassroots methods. We aim to help you choose the best techniques and options for you and your audience, and then give you the skills to apply them.
