Action
Learn. Design. Evaluate.
We learn about best practices and worst mistakes from experts and people with personal experience. We work with communities to design, test, and deliver learning experiences. Then, we assess outcomes, and do it again, only better. Because disaster doesn’t wait for people to be prepared.
“Your program is really great and will no doubt, end up saving lives. The concept is unique, engaging, and very informative.”
— David Waxman, Participant, Wildfire Live-Action Adventure, Oakland CA
