About CommonAction

CommonAction Consulting envisions all people

everywhere living engaged lives, including children,

youth, and adults.

We believe engagement is the sustained connection a

person has to the world within or outside herself or

himself. CommonAction staff foster engagement through

substantive personal development, sustainable social

change, meaningful policy reform, and powerful

transformation activities.

Founded in 2005 by internationally recognized community

engagement thought leader Adam Fletcher,

CommonAction Consulting is a socially oriented private

firm. Beginning in 2001 with our flagship program, The

Freechild Project, we focused on youth engagement in

community settings. Our school outreach program,

SoundOut, launched in 2002 to focus on student

engagement. Heartspace, our new initiative launching in

spring 2012, focuses on personal engagement.
