We engage in equity-driven research, evaluation, and consultation to promote social justice for children, youth, families, and communities.
Our Mission
We facilitate change by collaborating with families, practitioners and other partners to:
- Amplify marginalized voices.
- Illuminate inequities and address root causes.
- Identify, collect, and make meaning of data.
- Co-create and disseminate actionable recommendations.
We approach our work with a learning orientation, taking ownership of our positionalities. We commit to leveraging our resources and privileges in service of families and communities.
Our Projects
Using both qualitative and quantitative approaches, our research projects aim to provide useful information that informs policy and program improvement. The following section lists research we are currently conducting.
