Our Work
IncludUs advances durable community power by deploying Community Engineering™ across core system domains and place-based partnerships.
​
Our work is not organized around standalone programs. It is structured around infrastructure deployment — aligning culture, governance, capital, and accountability to build systems that endure.
Systems Domains
Community Engineering™ is applied across three interconnected domains:
Civic Infrastructure
We strengthen participatory governance by integrating trusted cultural leadership with institutional decision-making systems.
This includes:
• Civic engagement infrastructure
• Trusted messenger networks
• Narrative power platforms
• Governance capacity building
​
These initiatives strengthen democratic participation while embedding community legitimacy into civic systems.
Community Wellbeing & Climate Resilience
We align health equity, environmental justice, and clean energy systems with durable community ownership.
This includes:
• Climate and clean energy activation
• Environmental justice engagement
• Culturally-rooted health systems
• Tree Planting for Farming Communities
​
These deployments connect public health, environmental sustainability, and economic opportunity within structured institutional frameworks.
Leadership & Economic Mobility
We build leadership ecosystems and economic systems that compound power across generations.
This includes:
• Workforce pathway alignment
• Place-based economic mobility partnerships
• Leadership development cohorts
• Data and narrative platforms
​
These deployments strengthen long-term opportunity infrastructure and institutional accountability.
Strategic Deployments
