Change, progress, and a brighter future for communities of color.

At S360, we’ve built our practice and approach around understanding the nuance of regional and cultural differences in communities all across the West. From the start, we’ve been committed to deep, strategic cultural engagement—never a one-size-fits-all approach that assumes what works in one community will be the solution for another. And as the face of the West continues to change—through demographic and population shifts and the influence of Latino/a, Native, and immigrant communities—we know how important it is for us to be on the ground, always listening and learning, our eyes, ears, and minds open, so we can engage communities of color in ways that are meaningful, lasting, and ensure all communities thrive.
