What is Communities in Practice?

It is a community development practice, that assists communities to build sustained participation and collective growth. Communities in practice is a collective of practitioners, who use their expertise and tools, to address historical inequities and dismantle the disenfranchisement of underserved communities.

We spearhead equitable development processes, centered on adversely impacted community members, peer-to-peer learning and active advocacy around shared solutions.  We value lived experience and subject matter expertise. We engage in decolonization, pluralism, anti-racism, and abolishing forced assimilation. The communities we serve, thrive in diversity and culture, they are willing to help one another, they share information and power.
