Join us for an interactive workshop with Breauna Dorelus, Founder and Cause Consultant at Connecting the Cause!
About this Event

oin us for an in-person interactive workshop with Breauna Dorelus as we explore the Co-Dreaming framework and how curiosity, listening, and adaptability can help us navigate challenges and build stronger, more meaningful, community-centered partnerships.

About this workshop:
Whether you coordinate volunteers, lead nonprofit programs, or work in community engagement, these moments are a natural part of building relationships. They give us an opportunity to pause, listen, and better understand what matters most to the communities we work alongside.

Join Breauna for a conversation about navigating these moments with curiosity, openness, and a shared commitment to the community. Using the Co-Dreaming framework, we’ll explore how listening, learning, and adapting together can strengthen relationships and create more meaningful, community-centered partnerships.

About Breauna Dorelus:
Breauna Dorelus is the founder and cause consultant at Connecting the Cause, where she helps organizations rethink their approaches to volunteerism and community engagement, particularly when working with Black and brown communities. She brings more than 10 years of experience in volunteer management, humanitarian aid, refugee resettlement, and community engagement.

Through her work as a consultant, speaker, and facilitator, Breauna helps organizations move beyond traditional charity models and build relationships rooted in listening, inclusion, and shared responsibility. For the past five years, she has partnered with United Way of King County to help our team build a more thoughtful, community-centered approach to engagement.

Community engagement is about building relationships, listening to one another, and working together toward a shared vision. But meaningful partnerships don’t always follow a straight path. Sometimes priorities shift, expectations differ, or a community tells us there may be a better way forward.

We hope you’ll join us!

Special thanks to our partner:
