About me
Be The Change Consulting, LLC. (BTC) is a woman owned and people of color operated, capacity-building firm located in Oakland, California. Over the past 15 years, BTC has developed a highly interactive process for capacity building and technical assistance.
We pride ourselves in creating engaging learning spaces that provide diverse audiences tangible skill-building and practical action steps to transform programs into safe and welcoming environments. Our guiding philosophy is that those most impacted by social issues are closest to the solutions. Therefore, we support school districts and community based organizations with an understanding that collective solutions to local challenges need be both comprehensive and representative of the current and future needs of those most impacted by structural racism. To do this we use interactive activities, human-centered design principles, and experiential instructional methods to create tailored virtual and in-person learning experiences. This often means that our approach is both expansive and responsive to the specific needs of the communities we seek to empower.
Known for our hands-on coaching, dynamic facilitation, and transformative reflection, we leverage the Positive Youth Development framework to engage service providers in addressing the needs and vulnerabilites of Bay Area youth and beyond."
"Be the Change’s offerings include highly engaging in-person and virtual trainings and easy-to-use and experiential curriculum rooted in Social Emotional Learning and social justice.
Our Building Intentional Communities model and curriculum is designed to deepen the integration of core values into programming, shift program climate towards inclusion and engagement, and provide youth with leadership opportunities to develop into well rounded critical thinkers."
