We Help Organizations Build a Community Culture

Community building profoundly transforms organizations. Commitment, inclusivity, authenticity, support, shared leadership, collaboration, and camaraderie; these are the seven pillars of a Community culture.

Are You Dealing with These Organizational Challenges? 

  • a high level of absenteeism, burnout, attrition, and turnover
  • diminished commitment, engagement, and retention
  • too much competition and not enough support and collaboration

Are you seeking to foster greater creativity, enhance mutual support and camaraderie, and cultivate a more inclusive team with a shared vision, values, mission, and goals?

While we’re proud to work with a wide range of organizations (see feedback here), our current focus is on those that often fall through the cracks: First Responders in police, fire, and ambulance services. These are environments where crisis response is the norm, but support before a crisis is rare.

Introducing the LIFELINES Program

LIFELINES is Kalliergo’s signature program for First Responders—firefighters, EMTs, police, and paramedics. It strengthens organizational culture by creating a pre-crisis support network: colleagues who are connected and ready to face challenges together.

Rather than waiting for a crisis to trigger support, LIFELINES builds the conditions where connection, collaboration, and psychological safety thrive—before they’re urgently needed.

Customized Community Building Programs

Whether you’re part of a First Responder organization, a corporation, a nonprofit, an educational institution, or another sector, we fully customize our programs to align with your goals, timeline, and budget. Schedule a complimentary Zoom meeting—we’d love to learn more and explore how we can help.

Testimonials  
A participant in a Kalliergo Program shares his impressions.
“I have participated in many strategic planning sessions and team-building activities in the past that simply scratched the surface. This unique, experiential workshop helped me dig deep to make real community connections with complete strangers within a mere few hours.”
Ash Arrowsmith, Recreation Professional, Town of Riverview, New Brunswick		 a client, participant of a Community Building program shares her opinion about Kalliergo programs
“I have used Kalliergo to build community in my business and in the classroom. No other program does what Kalliergo does. Community building is not the same as social-emotional learning programs. SEL training is good but it does not create community. Kalliergo’s multi-step approach methodically leads groups into thinking about how to create and be an actual community. When we say that we are part of a community without Kalliergo training, we rarely are a community. I highly recommend Lori’s approach!”
Louise Yakey, Executive Director, Tutors to Teachers & CEO Arise Tutors, Santa Fe, New Mexico		 a Community builder herself, Sarah shares why she recommends Kalliergo Community Building
“Community building with Lori is unlike any workshop or leadership course you’ve taken before! The usual rules of conduct don’t apply. Every voice matters and Lori does a good job of moderating that.”
