Learning For Action

Learning for Action (LFA) builds capacity for learning through strategy, evaluation, and research. We partner with social sector organizations to strengthen their learning culture and practice in service of equity and justice. We support individuals and organizations working on systemic, structural, and policy changes that address the underlying root causes of inequities so that all members of our communities have access to the opportunities they deserve for productive, healthy, and meaningful lives. Our vision is that all communities have the knowledge, resources, and power to thrive, and all people experience equity, justice, and dignity. Our Values Equity. Everyone has what they need to be successful, thrive, and feel fulfilled, while taking into account that people have different access to resources because of systems of oppression and privilege. Equity addresses that disparity, which means dismantling systems that disadvantage or privilege some and allocating resources, sometimes unequally, to make sure that each person can access opportunity. We see equity as both a means and an end to our work. Collaboration. We recognize that change in communities, organizations, and systems requires genuine partnership rooted in relationships and trust. We honor and value the expertise of diverse communities and partners in service of shared transformation. Integrity. We engage authentically and address difficult issues directly. We challenge and hold ourselves accountable to continuous learning, growth, and improvement in service of our vision and mission. Curiosity. We invite ourselves, each other, our clients, and partners into a space of reflection - seeking to examine our beliefs, assumptions, and habits and to deeply understand the context, needs, concerns, and strengths of organizations and communities in support of mutual learning and growth.
