The STOKE Collective

Projects and Partnerships

"STOKE has helped us realize our true potential. As an organization that’s constantly in campaign mode, they’ve taught us to hit the pause button, allowing us to reflect on our obstacles, challenges, and successes. STOKE’s approach has always been to build us up in a sustaining way, using the structures that are there, and not foisting on us structures that are not ours."

​

- Brendan Sexton, Executive Director of the Independent Drivers Guild


STOKE is grateful for the opportunities to work with a wide array of groups and organizations in deepening their commitment to doing the relational work of change-making. No matter the length or content of a partnership, our work is always deeply rooted in shifting culture. Whether it’s running visioning sessions or trainings, designing a retreat, or accompanying an organization as they refocus their organizational purpose, STOKE trainers always have an eye towards a relational, liberated future. Our past work has ranged from ‘all-encompassing’ multi-year projects to working with organizations in a specific area over the course of a month. We have worked with a range of group sizes across focus issues, age, race, gender, and other lines of difference.
