Community Relations Services
We appreciate that many of our clients have close connections that run deep throughout the communities they partner with.
Quality Control of Deliverables & Partner Communications
Every project needs an extra pair of eyes to sustain smooth operations. All too often communications lapse and break down when staff become busy with project operations. This service allows someone to have your back. We will review and monitor partner communications and delivery of materials to ensure programs remain transparent through the life of the project.
Assess Current Relations & Mediate Across Partner Groups
We provide a guided partnership health checklist that allows you to periodically assess the quality of your professional relationships and be mindfully aware of changes over time in stakeholders' priorities.
Conflict Resolution
Conflicts happen when you do things that matter. Never let misunderstandings separate you and your partners from achieving your joint goals. Our team can support you and your partners through third-party medication to get your project back on track.
Maintain & Expand Community Partners
Environmental scans are often required to understand existing services compared to the market, discover a niche, and create transition strategies that are well informed. This service works to maintain the client's relevance in the market and attractiveness for their future partners and opportunities.
Diversity and Culturally Responsive Training
Programs working in education and development often require organizations to quickly adapt to changes in service community, staff, or even geographic area of focus. It can be difficult to adjust to these changes quickly as a service delivery provider. This service works to get to know your group of interest to generate reciprocally beneficial training to create positive intergroup relationships, mitigate discrimination and prejudice, and establish common ground to expedite the development of a working environment conducive to healthy communications and collaboration.
VOICE Educational Consulting offers several services within our Community Relations Services. A recommended list of services will be detailed in the Services Agreement, provided to you after our first strategy meeting.
Yet, we also understand that our clients are often juggling simultaneously conflicting priorities from adhering to funder guidelines, monitoring budgetary demands, constant volunteer and staff changes, and many other pressures.
Our team offers community relations services to ensure that while your team stays mission focused, your relationships with those most important to you - the communities you partner with - are never put on the back burner, strained, or forgotten.
This service additionally provides third-party perspective into your community partner relationships to further enhance understanding, mediation, and collaboration.
