School Community Engagement Consultants

Our Approach Depends on Your Community

Every community engagement campaign is unique, so we tailor proposals to meet your specific needs. We start by helping you identify, plan, and build a timeline for gathering necessary information. If needed, we can facilitate the information-gathering activities.

We understand the importance of organized and effective meetings, ensuring they are a good use of time and move toward the goal. 

Here are some of the ways we can assist in your community engagement process:

• Assessment: We can assess your current community engagement and communications approach and recommend ways to strengthen it. We work with your leadership team to identify engagement goals and target audiences, considering those closest to the issue, most affected, with resources, and decision-making authorities.

• Recommended Approaches: We help weigh the pros and cons of various community engagement approaches, considering the purpose and audience. We assist in determining the most productive format for community gatherings, whether in-person, virtual, or hybrid, and whether to use small groups or a larger setting.

• Planning & Execution: J.Marie & Associates aids in planning the timing and communication strategies for the engagement process, ensuring meaningful engagement from start to finish. We create opportunities for additional input from those not directly involved and organize agendas for efficient meetings.

Whether you need help designing one community meeting or pulling together an entire campaign, our team of communication and engagement experts, hailing from diverse backgrounds, offers the support you need.
