Our Approach

While organizing what we do at HopeWorks into concrete categories is useful, our work is fluid, moving between categories, and even shape-shifting. Drawing from the work of Adrienne Marie Brown on Emergent Strategy, our efforts are rooted in concepts such as change is constant, not being satisfied with the status quo, and shared responsibility and collective action for addressing societal challenges. As such, please consider the categories below with this in mind.
