Our modes of impact

Research

We identify critical issues in Jacksonville across a range of impact areas – from economic mobility to education to resilience. We then conduct rigorous and objective research, and make recommendations for best-in-class policies and initiatives that will move JAX forward.

Advocacy

We engage key stakeholders to inform our research and facilitate the action needed to make a lasting impact. Addressing most challenges - and seizing most opportunities - requires collaboration across organizations, and we aim to help make that happen on key issues.

Execution

We have developed the EpicJax Process—a structured, collaborative framework designed to drive innovative solutions. To expand and maximize its impact, we need resources to recruit skilled project managers who will uphold process integrity, enhance solution discovery through increased "warm-ups" and "sprints," and ensure the continued success of this initiative.
