FOSTERING CONNECTION, COLLABORATION + COLLECTIVE ACTION
Scenario Six Collective builds capacity for social impact organizations to develop and implement pathways that move their networks, communities, or groups toward collaboration and collective action.
WHAT WE DO
Across the social impact field, there are leaders responsible for stewarding networks, designing spaces for collaboration, or fostering partnerships between groups of people. Yet the tools and support needed to sustain this kind of relational work are often undervalued and therefore lack investment.
Our work through Scenario Six is a direct response to this. We invest in practitioners by designing experiences that allow them to step back and reimagine strategies that amplify the impact of their work.
Walking away with solutions to implement is one outcome of working with us. But ultimately, we hope to strengthen the capacity of leaders to continue working in a sustainable way.
HOW WE INVEST IN YOU
-
A small, monthly peer circle for people responsible for communities, programs, and collaborative work—a place to bring real challenges and think them through with others doing similar work. Free to join!
-
If you’re responsible for relationship building, gathering people, or network stewardship and you’re feeling stuck or like engagement has gone a bit stagnant, we can help! In this two-part 1:1 session, we’ll guide you through an experience that helps get to the root of your problem, sparks new ideas, and supports you to think about how you’ll put your new strategies in place.
-
A custom strategy session for up to 7 members from your organization to help your team get un-stuck when engagement within your network, community, or group is feeling stagnant. We’ll guide you through an experience that helps get to the root of your problem, sparks new ideas, and supports you to think about how you’ll put your new strategies in place.
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.

WHO WE ARE
During our five years of working together as the community management team of a national network, we saw first-hand all the joys and challenges related to people-centered, connection-oriented work. We discovered and experimented with different methods and systems, and learned what it takes to do this work well.
We created Scenario Six as a decision to center our values, bet on ourselves, and as a reminder that there’s always an opportunity to think creatively and expansively about how to solve a problem. We explored many pathways before we landed here—our sixth scenario. Now, we are ready to bring our expertise to support you in your engagement efforts whether you’re thinking through a strategy, event, program, or tool. If this resonates, we’d love to connect!
