COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT STRATEGIES FOR DIVERSE POPULATIONS

AVOID THE SINS OF THE PAST BY GETTING 

MEANINGFUL INPUT FROM MARGINALIZED PEOPLE


In mid-2023, the city of Philadelphia’s Office of Civic Engagement and Volunteer Service and the PHL Service Design Studio launched the Equitable Community Engagement Toolkit website.

The site has more than two dozen guides covering “project planning, evaluation, accessibility, languages access, and how to center racial equity in engagement.”

“We’ve worked with over 160 colleagues and community members to inform the vision and guidance of the Engagement Toolkit.

We’ve been transformed by this work and the care our collaborators have shown in sharing their lived expertise with us,” said Andrea Ngan, lead service design strategist.
