In a world where equity has become both a moral imperative and a practical necessity, targeted universalism (TU) is a framework that bridges the gap between one-size-fits-all policies and those that focus on specific groups.

What does it take to build trust and equity into community engagement? On September 16 in Portland, we explored this question with attendees during our full-day training on Applying Human-Centered Design to Community Engagement. This workshop-style training equips participants with tools to build stronger partnerships, foster inclusive spaces, and lead more collaborative community engagement processes.
