Minimal ongoing staff time after initial setup:

• Initial planning and experience design: 3-5 hours

• Ongoing coordination per experience: 1-2 hours

• We handle marketing, registration, facilitation, and logistics

Perfect. They don't have to.

Community members share what they want—skills, culture, hobbies, knowledge. Not trauma. Not challenges. Their full humanity.

And it's truly reciprocal: while community members teach families about their lived experiences, they also learn from families—building connections, gaining new perspectives, and experiencing the value of their own expertise through others' curiosity and engagement.

We co-create experiences around what your community wants to share and what makes authentic exchange possible.

No. We cover all expenses: liability insurance, supplies and materials, staff facilitation, marketing and registration.

You receive a flat fee for coordination plus per-person fees that you can allocate as you choose—either to your organization or as thank you gifts to community members. No costs to you.

We partner with organizations serving:

• People experiencing homelessness or housing insecurity

• Newly arrived Mainers and immigrant communities

• People living with disabilities

• Elders and intergenerational programs

• Communities experiencing economic marginalization

• Any population whose lived experience and humanity is often overlooked

• Community members choose what to share

• Experiences are designed for reciprocal exchange, never one-directional observation

• Families are prepared through pre-reflection to engage authentically

• Trained facilitators guide all interactions to ensure mutual respect

• Post-reflection processes learning and impact for everyone

• Ongoing feedback loops with partners and community members

No long-term commitment required. We can pause or end partnership at any time with 30 days notice.
