A platform for activist consultants.
Torchlight is a community of freelance consultants, researchers, communicators, strategists, facilitators, organizers, and movement-builders working across human rights, social justice, global health, climate justice, and related fields, sectors, and industries.
Our members maintain their own careers, clients, and professional identities while participating in a community that offers connection, learning, leadership opportunities, collaboration, and support. We come together to implement impactful global projects.
Torchlight consultants specialize in:
Communications
We help organizations translate complex research, learning, and strategy into messaging and products that are clear, credible, and useful. From advocacy tools and data visualization to messaging and narrative development, we help clients communicate their work in ways that strengthen understanding and support meaningful and accountable action.
Organizational Strengthening
We help organizations strengthen their leadership, strategy, and systems to navigate change according to their value system. Our approach centers accountability, relationships, and long-term sustainability so organizations can grow without losing sight of their mission.
Movement-Building
We help networks, coalitions, and movements build the relationships and alignment needed for collective action, especially as we confront a global wave of regressive, anti-rights, and fascist movements. By fostering trust, shared purpose, and collaboration, we support lasting change that no organization can achieve alone.
Research + Evaluation
We design and lead research that generates actionable insights for advocacy, programming, systems change, and decision-making. Grounded in rigor, accountability, and meaningful participation, our work helps organizations understand what is happening, why it matters, and how to move forward.
As a collective, we work with a range of institutions, systems, and leaders in global health, human rights, and gender justice.
Our membership community supports the shared infrastructure that makes the global collective consulting practice possible. We believe in the integrity and abundance of collaboration, community, and care.
