Student-Powered Improvement was developed by Community Design Partners as part of our work to center students, families, and communities. We strive to create spaces where all people can experience joy, connection, and purpose. Each word in our name was intentionally chosen to embody our journey and values:
We believe that the answers to complex problems are rooted in community.
We use mindsets and tools from human-centered continuous improvement to interrupt and redesign systems.
We see each other and those we work with as partners to learn and grow with.
The Community Design Partners team specializes in improving systems, engaging communities, and strengthening teams to create equitable and lasting change. Our work includes an array of services for organizations, schools, and districts across the country.
We teach, coach, and support human-centered continuous improvement mindsets and methods so that organizations can tackle complex problems.
We transform how organizations engage youth, families, and community to understand problems and design stronger solutions together.
We help teams grow, navigate change, and reach their goals.
