OUR EXPERTISE

people + purpose first

We lead with purpose, centering people. Keeping the people and communities at the heart of the work centers our purpose. This means listening to community members most impacted by the work and elevating their voices to effect the changes they want to see.

academic rigor + real-world feasibility

With advanced degrees in multiple disciplines, our team has a strong background and rigorous academic training in research methodology and analytic strategies. Coupled with our deep experience with community-based research, we bring a balance of academic meticulousness to people-centered efforts.

leading with collaboration

We know we don’t know everything. We lead our engagements with our expertise and lean on our partnerships to co-create a collaborative effort in the service of shared goals. Our team provides strategic thought partnership and supportive executive leadership.

Working with Clarity was a highly collaborative partnership, as they provided us with a structured process and facilitated support, enabling our teams to do the deep, structured thinking needed to plan for the next five years.
