Welcome to Collective Focus!
Check out our website for more information on what we do.

Every summer we take a 2 month break to catch our breath.

Last month, our team spent a weekend upstate camping.

Through nature we ground ourselves, and take a step back to look at the work we've done.

Collective Focus started as a response to the crisis we saw around us during the pandemic.

Since then, we dedicated ourselves to uplifting 68,000 people including: neighbors, strangers who find us, and the friends made along the way.

Reflecting on this unique path, it is necessary to acknowledge there are both struggles and moments of triumph.

This work has been challenging, for so many reasons.

As we strive for personal growth, our group has to overcome new setbacks.

We also face a never-ending need to help our vulnerable community experiencing food insecurity, mental health crisis, displacement, and many other social traumas.

With a difficult path ahead, the only way forward is to acknowledge we don't have all the answers.

So maybe you can help? Collective Focus re-opens in September, but until then, let's stay connected.

August Calendar:

We are partnered with a group of migrant artisans to host a 4-day event celebrating Indigenous culture next week.

At this very moment, New York City is overwhelmed by a dire immigration crisis, much like other parts of the United States.

People seeking asylum are instead experiencing human rights violations and on the streets without any personal belongings beyond the clothing on their bodies.

At Collective Focus, we speak directly with impacted families: our network consists of many recently arrived migrants as well as immigrants living here for many years. Despite their diverse experiences, they all have something in common.

People speak of the total cultural erasure they experience in the process of assimilating to a new, stable life in America.

Join us for this special opportunity to preserve native traditions alongside cultural advocates from the diaspora.
