Meaningful engagement, facilitation, and equity analysis for public agencies across Minnesota

Humanize MN is a Minnesota-based consulting firm that supports public infrastructure projects by emphasizing the needs, goals, and meaningful participation of underserved communities.

Our approach

Public engagement typically defaults to whatever is easiest to deliver because of tight deadlines and budgets. We stubbornly aim higher. We work to build community agency and capacity that outlast the project itself. That is hard, and how far it goes depends on the project. We start by listening, then design an approach around what we hear.
