ABOUT US
CivCom was formed in 2009 to support civic-minded organizations. We’re a team of 8 people spanning 3 states (Oregon, Florida, and Illinois). We work with clients from coast to coast.
MISSION
Create thriving organizations.
We help inspire better workplaces. We share evidence-based and empathy-based practices that motivate teams to do their best work.
Create thriving communities.
Organizations working to improve communities have big goals. We're here to support them from start to finish. Our services include planning, training, project implementation, and evaluation.
STRENGTHS
Expertise.
Effective innovation requires as much knowledge as it does creativity. We’re data wonks who take time to understand problems thoroughly before finding solutions. Want a campaign that is both bold and data driven? Materials that synthesize research findings? We’re all in.
Engagement.
We use a human-centered approach, seeking feedback from people our work impacts throughout the project lifecycle. We’re committed to finding solutions that work in the real world—that help organizations and communities thrive.
Experience.
While the projects we take on span a range of topics, we have strong roots in public health. We manage four county-level tobacco control programs in Florida. On a daily basis, we prove our communication skills with a variety of partners—elected officials, business owners, youth, and the broader community. Whether creating a campaign or a meeting agenda, our aim is the same: engaging communication that inspires action. Learn more about our work to create tobacco-free communities in Duval, St. Johns, Flagler, and Nassau counties, Florida.
SERVICES
EDUCATION & TRAINING
We develop educational materials and trainings on a wide range of topics, from leadership to policy change. We create communication plans, toolkits, and guidance documents. For organizations wanting to build in-house training capacity, we offer curricula with visual-rich slides, in-depth scripts, and print-ready handouts. Materials are customized based on the goal and audience.
DESIGN & IMPLEMENTATION
We approach each project with a commitment to evidence- and empathy-based practices. We identify strategies that work and messages that matter to people. Whether you need a facilitator, a consultant, or a project lead, our team does the hard work necessary to achieve your goals.
