About Tamarack 

Tamarack Institute for Community Engagement works to end poverty in all of its forms - economic 
poverty but also the poverty of our connection to other living things and to one another. We support 
people to develop the skills, mindsets and networks to collaborate for systems change. We support 
place-based collaborations to impact community-driven dimensions of poverty (e.g. youth 
employment, climate poverty, belonging) at a whole-of-community scale. We take what we learn 
from people and places to contribute to public policy and narrative change. We have seen that local 
communities / place-based collaboration impact outcomes at the local scale and are important 
aspects of change approaches at other scales. 
 
Over the next three years, the Board will champion the role of place-based collaboration both for how 
it reduces economic poverty, climate poverty, loneliness, polarization, unemployment and other 
outcomes across entire municipalities and region AND for how it contributes to all other approaches 
to social change. The Board will help us identify and explore new revenue models and to grow our 
social enterprise. The Board will support our work to work with communities to evolve and move 
forward a public policy and narrative agenda that enables communities' contributions. The Board will 
champion our explicit commitments to equity, anti-racism, and reconciliation.
