Contact MWIDC

Start a conversation.

What do you want to strengthen in your organization, team, school, or community?

You do not need to have the full engagement figured out before reaching out. Tell us who the work is for, what is happening now, and what you would like to become different.

From there, we can determine whether MWIDC is the right fit and what kind of approach would make sense.

Ways to work together

Bring us the real question.

The strongest engagements begin with the outcome—not a preselected workshop.

Partners often come to MWIDC with a challenge, opportunity, or direction they want to strengthen. We can then shape the right combination of learning, facilitation, land-based experience, strategy, or longer-term development around that purpose.

Leadership & Organizational Reconciliation

For executives, boards, leadership teams, and institutions working to move from awareness toward stronger relationships, clearer responsibility, and meaningful organizational action.

Staff & Professional Development

For teams that want learning to influence how people communicate, support others, exercise judgment, carry accountability, and work within their roles.

Youth & Land-Based Development

For schools, youth-serving organizations, and communities seeking sustained Indigenous education, practical skill development, identity, responsibility, and leadership through experience.

Speaking & Facilitated Engagements

For conferences, professional audiences, and organizational gatherings looking for Indigenous knowledge, lived experience, story, and practical reflection connected to the questions their audience is facing.

When you reach out

A few details help us understand the opportunity.

You can keep the first message simple. The most useful information is:

  • Your organization, school, community, or team
  • Who you want the work to serve
  • What you want to strengthen, address, or develop
  • Any timing, location, or decision deadline we should know about
  • Whether you are exploring a single engagement or something longer-term

No formal brief is required. A few clear sentences are enough to start.

What happens next

From first conversation to clear scope.

  1. Understand the context.We learn about the people involved, the current situation, what matters to your organization, and what you want to become different.
  2. Shape the approach.If there is a good fit, MWIDC develops the focus, format, scope, timing, and investment around the purpose of the work.
  3. Confirm and begin.Once the scope is agreed, we establish the practical plan, responsibilities, dates, and any evaluation or follow-up needed for the engagement.

For larger or longer-term work: an initial conversation may lead to a more detailed discovery process, proposal, or site visit before the final program or engagement is confirmed.

A good fit

Depth matters more than activity for its own sake.

MWIDC works best with partners who want the learning to matter after the session ends. That may mean stronger youth development, more capable staff, clearer leadership, deeper relationships, better organizational practice, or a sustained pathway rather than one-time exposure.

If that is the kind of work you are trying to build, we would like to hear what you are working toward.
