JOINERS Civic Connection Studio

Designing the connective tissue of civic life.

A strategy and design studio for civic life, belonging, and social infrastructure.

JOINERS’ Civic Connection Studio partners with cities, nonprofits, business improvement districts, foundations, and community coalitions to design programs, events, and spaces that foster connection and civic trust.

We help clients:

  • Prototype programs that reduce loneliness and increase belonging

  • Activate third spaces (bars, cafés, coworking hubs) for civic life

  • Co-design engagement strategies with real people, not just stakeholders

  • Conduct “civic health” or social capital assessments

  • Host joyful activations—from public vision boards to letter-writing karaoke
