The Gap Between Good Intentions and Real Impact
Even the most well-meaning efforts for justice can fall flat when they’re disconnected from the people they’re meant to serve. Many mission-driven organizations work tirelessly to address social issues, but their efforts often feel invisible or irrelevant to those most impacted. When communities don’t feel seen, heard, or included, engagement drops, progress stalls, and real change becomes harder to sustain.
​
At the same time, organizations are under pressure. They often don’t have the time or capacity to counter misinformation or emotionally charged narratives that shape public perception and decision-making. What’s missing isn’t passion — it’s trust, alignment, and shared understanding. Without those, we risk wasting time, energy, and resources while unintentionally upholding the very systems we’re trying to dismantle.

What We Do Differently
Our work draws on learning and behavior research, lived experience, and deep, relational connection. We partner with everyday heroes who are deeply invested in change — people who care about equity in their families, communities, workplaces, and the world. We create space for unlearning, healing, and bold, collaborative action — not just performative change.​
You already care. We help you turn that care into confidence, clarity, and real momentum.
Whether you're trying to navigate tough conversations, realign your organization’s efforts with community needs, or just figure out your next step — you don't have to do it alone. We offer:

In-Person Event (NY) - Changemaker (Re)Boot Camp
Remember the Underground: Leading DEI in 2025
On August 20th, as part of the Changemaker (Re)Boot Camp, The Chiron Project will facilitate a special pre-program learning experience for changemakers who are specifically interested in (re)imagining programs, resources, processes, and/or strategies specifically intended to meet the needs of socially disempowered populations in 2025 and beyond. This session is for changemakers who are involved in:
​
-
Pausing or sunsetting their Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, Justice, Accessibility, and Belonging (DEIJAB)-related work to maintain funding and/or continue critical services.
-
Transitioning their current DEIJAB-related work into other existing or combined workstreams to ensure related values are more deeply embedded into organizational structures and priorities.
-
Continuing the implementation of organizational DEIJAB-related strategic commitments with reduced or unpredictable funding, resources, or capacity.
-
Ramping up or expanding their current DEIJAB-related work in response to urgent and growing community needs and challenges.
-
Working in areas that while not explicitly labeled as DEIJAB or something similar, are still at risk of backlash due to real or perceived connections to DEIJAB.
This will be an intimate space that encourages an authentic sense of hope and purpose amongst participants, even amid uncertainty, challenge, disillusionment, grief, and explicit threats. You’ll walk away with specific strategies, frameworks, language, and tools to use in your individual change-making work and in organizations and teams.
