Approach

Amplify Engagement provides community engagement and knowledge translation services. We help you collaborate effectively with communities around issues that impact them to drive change and design a better future. Our approach is decision-oriented, equity-focused, and reciprocal. We are passionate about creating open spaces and facilitating diverse and varied audiences to tackle complex questions. Together we can harness the power of people and amplify the voices of your community.

Our Principles

Decision-oriented

Determining key questions and areas of influence to ensure that feedback from your community can be used to make positive change.

Equity-focused

Considering how systems of oppression and inequity impact your community and design the engagement process to allow under-represented members the opportunity to participate to the best of their ability.

Reciprocal

Ensuring you and your community find value in the process by working collaboratively and centering issues that matter to both sides.

"It was a a pleasure working with this dynamic duo! Their expertise in engagement is unmatched, but more so their flexibility and positive attitude makes even the most impossible task, not only possible, but successful.”

— Sabella Yussuf-Homenauth, Senior Public Engagement and Knowledge Translation Officer, ICES
