Our Why
Purpose-driven organizations committed to equity, inclusion, and justice may struggle to align actions with these values due to gaps in understanding and skills. This misalignment can limit their effectiveness, workplace appeal, and reliability as partners. Think Again helps organizations make immediate improvements and build ongoing capacity for internal growth, program enhancement, and stronger external partnerships, with a focus on racial justice and intersectional equity.

Assesment
We offer tailored assessments to help identify your organization’s strengths, areas for growth, and opportunities for meaningful change.

Coaching
Coaching offers a personalized, ongoing approach to help individuals or groups deepen their understanding and practice of social justice. Unlike brief training sessions, coaching allows for sustained reflection and growth through conversations and practical exercises. We tailor all coaching sessions to your specific needs and goals, providing customized solutions based on an initial assessment to enhance your social justice efforts.

Strategic Planning
Our strategic planning process uses Equity-Focused, Community-Centered Design to guide both planning and implementation. This cyclical approach includes asking questions, gathering input, testing solutions, evaluating impact, and making necessary adjustments. In addition to developing a Strategic Plan, we help your team continuously evaluate and improve while staying accountable to those most impacted by your work.
Tailored Trainings for Organizations
Our tailored trainings for organizational groups are designed to address your specific needs and context. While learning about equity and social justice is a continual journey, our aim is to assist your team in taking its next meaningful step forward.
Although trainings aren't a quick fix and can't erase systemic inequalities overnight, they play a vital role in advancing an organization's social justice practices.
Our engaging and interactive sessions, led by experienced facilitators, empower your team to absorb and apply new information to foster new insights and possibilities. Through collaborative exercises, your team strengthens its social justice skills and relationships, enhancing its capacity to enact change both individually and collectively.

We hold equity and leadership of the people most impacted by oppression as central to all our values, which include:
Transformation: We support change that starts with repair and healing of historical and ongoing harms and that alters the shape of systems, common practices, and individual behaviors
Relationality: We collaborate and ensure accessibility for everyone to have a voice.
Accountable action: We use cyclical approaches and insight from those most affected by decisions and oppression to continuously learn, assess impact, repair, and adjust.
Ingenuity: We ground ourselves in the reality of the moment and act flexibly and creatively to meet multiple needs within multiple contexts, drawing on most impacted peoples’ lineage of survivance - surviving amidst oppression via unofficial means.
Joy: We believe that joy is necessary for existence and we seek to make it possible for ourselves and all others.

Consulting clients that engage in a tailored, comprehensive assessment and consulting process realize immediate improvement while building internal capacity to continue honing their approach in operations, programs, and external partnerships. Organizations build shared understanding and skills, establish equitable organizational systems, and improve workplace climate. They also begin building accountable relationships with internal and external stakeholders who are most impacted by societal inequities, in order to get the kinds of feedback that allow for continual iteration and improvement. In short-term trainings, participants gain tools they can continue applying in their day-to-day practices, which contributes to improving organizational climate and outcomes and sets the stage for further learning, development and action.
