The Change Network is a self-paced, 12-month online program that provides structure, tools, coaching, and community to accelerate your goals toward becoming more equitable and inclusive.
If you're ready to make inclusive change, we're here to support your journey. OF/BY/FOR ALL is a non-profit organization that provides digital tools to help public institutions matter more to more people. We support a global community of action-oriented teams at libraries, theaters, museums, parks, and cultural centers, all working to become more inclusive, equitable, and relevant to their communities.
Our field-tested tools equip your team to put your commitment to equity into action. We have over 40 tools to help you map community assets, build authentic partnerships, listen and learn from community members, rethink hiring practices, and more. Some of these tools are available for free on this website, but most are part of the 12-month virtual Change Network program. In the Change Network, we provide a step-by-step framework for you and your community partners. We pair tools with expert coaching, global peer support, and progress tracking to help your team grow and change with your community.
You bring your commitment to equity and change. We’ll bring a field-tested framework to help you build relationships, relevance, and impact.
Let's get started.
-- Postmortem:
But the landscape has changed since 2021. The political and economic climate has increased pressure on organizations working in DEI (or adjacent) spaces. Anti-DEI legislation, shifting organizational priorities, and a challenging financial environment have created obstacles to continuing our work at the scale we envisioned. At the same time, we have watched as many other organizations that had previously committed to advancing equity and inclusion found themselves struggling to maintain momentum or honor those commitments. Participation in our programs dropped, funding dried up, and the arguments for actively pursuing this work were ignored or dismissed as new priorities rose to the top. For many, creating more equitable and inclusive working partnerships and processes turned into an optional daydream instead of a critical reality. Thus, OF/BY/FOR ALL comes to an end.

We guided over 180 organizations from 18 countries through our flagship program, the Change Network. They built healthy, thriving connections with communities that were close to them while improving their internal and external working processes. We piloted the Learning Hive, an 8-week program for professionals of all levels to develop and practice values-based leadership skills, for 14 participants from all corners of the sector. We grew from a team of 4 to a team of 8, serving over 1,000 individual participants throughout the life of our programs. We doubled our social media presence and published 95 blog posts including “How Do I Take Care of Myself in a Toxic Work Environment”; “A Framework for Action in Response to Moments of Outrage & Crisis”; and, “Trust: A Crucial Element for Building Relationships.” We reimagined our values, organizational structure, and working processes to improve effectiveness, efficiency, and morale.
