More than consulting.
Today's unparalleled uncertainty impacts the lives and livelihoods of vulnerable and marginalized people most severely. If your organization is exploring how your organization can be a better neighbor and resource for severely-impacted communities, or how your agency can engage adversely-affected residents in planning and governance, common approaches to engagement might not be working.
Meaningful engagement starts with relationships, and that's where we shine. Unlike traditional consultancies, yuroboros SPC looks beyond the project to help mission-driven professionals and organizations build enduring relationships through inclusive strategies, engaged research, and participatory policymaking and governance. We lead with our social mission in every service we offer.
We seek collaborators, not just projects.
It's not one or the other: We are advisers who excel at collaborating with institutional and community stakeholders to shape relationships through projects. Relationships help us do what no one has done before and get exceptional results. That's because our founder, Tracy A. Corley, connects people, then aligns organizational missions with community priorities using co-created engagements that foster trust, rapport, and mutual respect.
It's a people-first approach that changes how professionals understand their work and how it impacts those outside of the usual stakeholders.
A tried-and-true people first approach
Tracy has been working this way for decades and getting results. She has helped governments, academic institutions, and nonprofits put people first to:
- Revise environmental policies and regulations using community-engaged action research
- Integrate engaged research, participatory planning, and co-governance into institutional policies and procedures for inclusive regional economies
- Train academic scholars, community researchers, and policy advocates on collaborating to gather evidence for advancing housing and environmental justice
- Conduct community-prioritized research and planning using participatory policy analysis and neighborhood walk audits
- Coordinate strategic planning and policy actions across jurisdictions to advance equitable land use regulations and transportation accessibility
Rather than just "wins", these collaborations blend the interests, needs, and experiences of marginalized and mainstream people, cultivating real relationships where projects continue to emerge, naturally.
