For Consultants and Trainers

Alliance for Greater Works’ (Alliance) mission is to strengthen leaders and organizations to improve the wellbeing of communities. Alliance for Greater Works partners with communities to address the real, often hidden, issues at play that create inequalities such as lack of food, jobs, housing, healthcare and education.

We work collaboratively toward a better world where no individual person or community is sidelined, under-resourced or excluded due to inequitable access to economic growth, education and health care.
