Capacity Building within Communities

Equity, Inclusion and Belonging

At Linohau, our commitment goes beyond conventional coaching and consulting services. We are driven by a profound understanding that the strength of a school or community organization lies in its unique culture, mission, and ever-evolving needs. Our purpose is to empower you with tailored strategies that explore a deeper 'why'—a shared vision that extends beyond immediate objectives. We believe that cultivating a sense of belonging is critical to the collective success of any institution. By fostering an environment where every individual feels valued and connected, we aim to build a foundation of purpose, resilience, and sustainable growth within your organization. The design of approach to this work is unique to the specific culture, Mission, and needs of the moment. Therefore, a customized strategy with clear objectives is developed as a first step in relationship building.

An organization will partner with Mara to envision an approach that works for that community. Together we will strategize to identify where there is a desire to broaden knowledge, build awareness, and take action.
