Overview

Educopia Institute implements its Community Cultivation Framework with community and organizational leadership to provide guidance and capacity building measures. By considering how a community implements its rules for decision-making, documents bylaws, and cultivates leaders, we work in partnership with clients to invest in community health, leadership development, and strategic planning.

Our model has been refined over more than a decade of work with a broad range of library, publishing, archives, and museum clients. Utilizing our deep knowledge around the mechanisms that undergird community action, we help leaders identify and prioritize key strategic issues as well as work to build trust, relationships, and systems of accountability.
