Capacity Building & Initiative Development
Building from the ground up. Leading from the inside out.
At Omena Impact Consulting, we strengthen the people, practices, and programs that fuel transformative social change. Our capacity building and initiative development work is rooted in a deep belief: when grassroots leaders, especially women and people of color, are resourced and supported, whole systems can change.
We partner with nonprofits, coalitions, and community-centered initiatives to develop the infrastructure, skills, and strategies needed for bold, sustainable action. From co-designing leadership development programs to supporting new initiatives that expand community power, we help organizations grow with integrity and purpose.
Our Services Include:
- Design and facilitation of grassroots leadership development programs
- Capacity assessments and customized organizational strengthening plans
- Initiative incubation and strategic design support
- Program implementation and evaluation frameworks
- Technical assistance and coaching for community-based teams
Whether you’re launching a new initiative, deepening your team’s capacity, or nurturing the next generation of leaders, we’ll help you build from your strengths—with equity, clarity, and care.
We don’t just build capacity, we help you build power.
Case Spotlight
BIWOC Leadership Development Program
At the Low Income Investment Fund (LIIF), Ericka co-designed the Black, Indigenous, and Women of Color (BIWOC) Leadership Development Program, a transformative initiative created to uplift and equip emerging leaders within the organization.
Grounded in equity, healing, and cultural affirmation, the program offered a dedicated space for women of color to connect, develop their leadership skills, and thrive. Through facilitated learning circles, mentorship, and leadership coaching, participants deepened their leadership practices while building collective empowerment and fostering mutual support.
