Partners + Impact

Coaction Collective has the privilege of partnering with organizations nationwide on various projects. Here’s some of our work over the past two years.

Juan Rangel, SchoolSmartKC

“SchoolSmartKC appreciates the strong partnership with Coaction Collective that provides leadership coaching and professional development to school leaders and teachers around family engagement. 

Coaction Collective in Kansas City has been able to develop strong relationships within our school system and provide ongoing growth opportunities to embed the necessary strategies between families and their students’ teachers to improve the culture and practices of our school community.

All of this work helps to ensure what we believe is central to the success of our schools and students alike—a meaningful, trusting partnership between families, students, and all parties at the school for improved student academic and social-emotional outcomes.”

Zakiya Reid, Executive Director, Kindred

“Kindred Communities is honored to be partnering with Coaction Collective to advance our vision of committees collaborating to create antiracist and liberated schools. It’s been clear from the start that this partnership will help us significantly grow our capacity, expertise, and impact as we expand our work beyond Washington, DC.

The Coaction Collective team’s relationship-driven and holistic approach seamlessly aligns with the Kindred’s ways of being. Every meeting and exchange is grounded in building trust, showing up authentically, and harnessing our collective energy and wisdom.

This has come through in Coaction Collective’s thoughtful and thorough approach during this first context-setting phase of our work together, and we are thrilled for the transformative journey ahead!”

Nicole Lynn Lewis, Founder and CEO, Generation Hope

“We have truly appreciated the support from Coaction Collective in supporting our scaling efforts. They quickly jumped in and rolled up their sleeves to get the work underway, and they adapted to our culture and worked to understand our organizational values.

In addition to leading task force meetings and reporting at board meetings, they conducted more than 20 interviews with our stakeholders and provided in-depth research to inform our scaling models.

Their support has made this process enjoyable and has provided us with the foundation that we need to launch our next site.”

Dr. Pam Lange, Deputy Executive Director, Black Hills Special Services Cooperative (BHSSC)

“The South Dakota Statewide Family Engagement Center had the opportunity to work with CoCo for our two-day staff retreat. During this time together, our staff learned so much about each other and left the retreat feeling energized and focused to move forward with our work.

The Coco team pivoted many times during the retreat to customize the conversation and adjust activities based on our needs. Our team needed to have some tough conversations, and the Coco team navigated those conversations with professionalism and laughter (when needed) and was able to pull out the underlying themes of growth opportunities.

They brought a wealth of knowledge and experience to the retreat; we couldn’t have been more happy with the results. We are so excited to move forward with the plans generated at the retreat and want to thank the Coco team for all they did to help move us in the right direction to finish our amazing grant and prepare us for growth in other needed areas.”
