SERVICES

The Education Justice Consulting Collective (EJCC) offers comprehensive, high-level expertise in communications, organizing, and capacity building. We provide deep, technical assistance across various levels—ranging from rapid response to long-term strategy development—ensuring that the organizations we work with are equipped to navigate both immediate challenges and broader systemic change. Our approach centers on co-creating resources, fostering sustainable best practices, and ensuring organizations are left stronger, more capable, and ready for future opportunities.

We collaborate with networks, philanthropies, and associations to offer tailored support to their grantee partners and constituents. Our flexible, participatory approach means that we aren’t just external consultants—we become trusted partners, committed to co-creating solutions that build community power, elevate voices, and promote justice in public education and beyond.

Working over a predetermined period, we combine curated resources, our team’s expertise, and the local organization’s knowledge to deliver in these three ways:

Strategic, Relational Technical Assistance
We provide intentional, relationship-driven support, including research, strategic communications consulting, and digital work products, to help local groups meet their immediate objectives while laying the groundwork for long-term success. Our technical assistance is designed to be adaptable, addressing both urgent and evolving needs through a lens of justice and equity.

Building Long-Term Capacity
Our focus extends beyond short-term wins to creating sustainable organizational growth. Through co-created strategies, we offer customized templates, evergreen resources (such as local and state press lists), and communications/press training to enhance your organization's internal capacity. We partner closely with both the local and larger organizations to ensure the development of a work plan that leaves every group stronger, more capable, and better positioned to lead in their community.

Deepening Network Engagement
We foster strong, lasting connections between local organizations and the larger networks they operate within. By integrating the resources and programs of the broader network—such as trainings, convenings, and collaborative opportunities—into the work we provide to local groups, we create synergies that expand the reach and effectiveness of both the local and national efforts. This approach ensures deeper alignment, strengthens local-national partnerships, and facilitates long-term impact.
