At AV Consulting , we move equity from words to action, creating sustainable change that lives beyond any single initiative or period. Our approach ensures equity is embedded so deeply that new teams inherit a culture of inclusivity and purpose. One-time training does not operationalize equity. Working with AV Consulting is an investment that weaves equity into the fabric of your organization.

Strategic Planning, Work Plan Development & Facilitation

AV Consulting continues to grow its portfolio of strategic plans and short-term/annual work plans. This process is often in conjunction with our organization's evaluations. We engage staff, leadership, board, and community partners to shape priorities and identify important future milestones grounded in equity. We also offer facilitation services for a wide range of settings including board and staff retreats, commission and council meetings, community and conference events, as well as facilitator skill-building, coaching and train the trainer approaches.

Equity Framework

AV Consulting is often asked how to operationalize equity—our answer is actionable strategies that embed intersectionality and acknowledge diverse identities within policies, practices, decision-making, and culture. We walk teams through a design process to build their unique equity framework, called the Racial Equity Values Assessment Tool (REVAT). While we lead with race, we work with clients to incorporate the various layers of identity into the framework.

Organization and Program Evaluation

AV Consulting leads clients through evaluations that assess program effectiveness and improve organizational structures—elevating diverse voices and making equity integral, not optional. Unlike traditional approaches that treat equity as an add-on, our evaluations integrate it fully with those often excluded from decision-making. Depending on client needs, we often pair our equity framework development and evaluation services.

Multicultural and Multilingual Engagement and Co-creation

We drive impactful, community-centered results by elevating underrepresented voices and prioritizing access to resources. AV Consulting's multicultural engagement connects organizations with diverse communities in meaningful, culturally relevant ways. Our co-creation approach goes beyond translation, incorporating race, culture, age, economic status, education level, immigration experience, and other social determinants, allowing communities to shape language, messaging, and projects that foster deep relationships and inclusive outcomes.

Diversity Equity Inclusion and Belonging (DEIB) Skill Building

AV Consulting provides DEIB skill-building tools and curriculum that support personal growth and actions. We center trust-building trust, confronting systemic issues, identifying and repairing harm, and empowering staff to engage in meaningful equity dialogues. We provide a sustained, applied learning approach beyond traditional training to cultivate a more equitable workplace culture.
