Cultural democracy means that everyone’s story is important. Often annual reports and evaluations don’t represent the community you represent in ways meaningful to the community or in ways that gets government attention.

It’s not about what is popular or trending, it’s about representation. If you feel your organisation is meant to represent a community and needs some help telling government a thing or two…*ask Jack for help. *Jack is not currently taking on clients, but you can always ask. They are currently working on finalising a PhD and a book project.

Community evaluation and strategic planning done differently…

Jack will work with your team to come up with unique ways you can represent your community evaluation or conduct consultation for your strategic planning. With joy, with humour, with radical honesty (and trauma informed).

It’s about reaching your community members and stakeholders better to get a clear picture what they think you should focus on. Not just boring surveys and talkfests, unique ways you can tap into the culture and knowledge of your organisation, its members and stakeholders. Perhaps you need to get to the heart of what irks your stakeholders, or perhaps you’d like to know how well something is working, and you need someone to “build it and they will come” and do the consultation for you.

They are available to consult on matters across community development (violence prevention, disability, mental health and LGBTQIA+, community arts, employment workforce development), governance, program development and monitoring and evaluation (see here for more information).
