Civic Engagement & Stakeholder Collaboration
The Karuna Center works in social, environmental, political and community impact spaces experiencing conflict and polarization.

We partner with a number of regional and national stakeholders — health systems, social and environmental organizations, indigenous communities, and public policy decision makers.
