Why We Help.
There are more organizations than ever doing the essential work of protecting animals and our planet. Advocates across the globe are working tirelessly to end factory farming, shift dietary norms, build new laws, preserve natural ecosystems, and so much more.
To achieve lasting systemic change, we need powerful organizations and great leaders.
​
But all too often, leaders lack the skills, resources, or support they need to build resilient organizations that attract newcomers to the movement and grow their capacity to produce lasting results.
​
And even the most experienced leaders get too caught up in the day-to-day logistics and challenges of running an organization, which takes time away from the mission that fires up people’s passion for their work.
As a result, organizations lose vital time, money, and energy to:
-
Miscommunication
-
Interpersonal conflict
-
Leader, staff, and volunteer burnout
-
Critical employee and volunteer skill gaps
-
Lack of diversity and inclusion
-
Low psychological safety
-
Difficulty recruiting, hiring, and onboarding
-
Low employee and volunteer engagement and high turnover
Scarlet Spark exists to help advocates build human-friendly organizations where people act strategically, communicate well, and collaborate efficiently and joyfully. Because we believe in building a thriving movement ecosystem, we work with organizations of all types and sizes, from local grassroots collectives to large, international organizations.
​
We tailor our work to each group’s needs to provide relief in the short term, and boost the reputation, power, and endurance of the entire movement in the long term.
