Centering Community
Co-Creation That Lasts
Communities aren’t passive audiences—they’re the source of your mission’s power and relevance. Stoneroller’s approach puts stakeholders at the center, creating communications and campaigns that reflect lived experience and foster real belonging.
Our Approach
Community Listening & DiscoveryEvery project starts by listening to those who matter most: members, volunteers, staff, and those who are often overlooked. We use structured interviews, workshops, and feedback tools to gather insights and build buy-in from the start.
Participatory Co-DesignWe invite stakeholders into the creative process, turning project planning into an act of community-building. Through brainstorming, prototyping, and iterative review, we ensure the final product truly fits those it serves.
Accessibility & InclusionEvery deliverable is reviewed for accessibility, cultural sensitivity, and ease of use. We adapt messaging and visuals to honor diversity and reduce barriers to participation.
Ongoing EngagementWe provide tools and training so your team can keep the conversation going—ensuring that community voices remain at the heart of your work.

Why This Process Works
When people see themselves in your communications, they become your greatest advocates. Stoneroller’s participatory process doesn’t just create better materials—it builds trust, ownership, and momentum.
