FOSTERING CONNECTION, COMMUNITY + COLLABORATION
Scenario Six Collective designs and facilitates intentional convenings and programs that foster connection and collaboration amongst networks, communities, and teams.
WHO WE ARE
After five years of working as a unified community management team—building, nurturing, and transitioning communities—we created Scenario Six as a decision to center our values and bet on ourselves. It’s enabled us to experiment with bringing our individual and collective strengths together to craft frameworks and strategies that foster connection, cultivate communities, and activate networks for impact through convenings and programming.
We know what it takes to do this work well and are excited to bring our learnings and experiences to support you and your community.

HAVE YOU BEEN IN ONE OF THESE SCENARIOS?
You want to bring your community together but are not sure how to use the time intentionally. You want to make sure they walk away with something meaningful.
Your community is starting to feel stagnant. Members are not engaging with each other. No one is connecting and you’re not making progress on your goals.
You notice a lack of cohesion and collaboration amongst your internal team and want to do something about it.
We can help! We offer holistic support that could look like…
Strategy Support + Design and Development + Implementation Support + Thought Partnership
We customize our support to your needs.
We’ll start our work together with a call to learn about your needs and goals, and then will draft a proposal that holistically addresses them, taking into account your staff’s capacity and your budget. For example, if you’re in the midst of transition, we can offer shorter term transitional support to keep your community running smoothly.
