Civic Engagement Consulting
I offer a comprehensive workshop and training program to educate community members about the importance of civic participation, empowering them to leverage their voices and become active participants in the democratic process. These services are tailored to meet the unique needs of organizations working towards social change, providing strategic guidance on how to effectively implement programs and initiatives that resonate with their mission.
“ COCO Consulting was an amazing partner in developing the relationship between Soul 2 Soul Sisters and Arapahoe County Jail as we worked to support their jail-based voting program. Jasmine guided us through logistics, including required facility training, the development and distribution of voter guide materials, and relationship building with the Arapahoe County team. It was truly a pleasure and joy to work with Jasmine.”
— Soul 2 Soul Sisters
Criminal Justice Reform Consulting
I specialize in offering insights and strategies to bridge gaps in the system and promote equitable treatment for all individuals.
Policy & Advocacy
These services are tailored to meet efforts focused on driving policy changes at local, state, and national levels working collaboratively with coalitions to amplify the voices of marginalized communities and influence legislation which can also support criminal justice reform.
EVALUATION
I conduct thorough evaluation services to assess the impact of existing programs and policies, using data-driven insights to inform decision making and enhance the effectiveness of advocacy initiatives
Candidate Consulting
Candidate Consulting Services are designed for first-time and emerging candidates seeking guidance on civic engagement strategy, voter outreach, and campaign planning. COCO Consulting works alongside candidates to build community-centered strategies that strengthen public trust, increase voter engagement, and position campaigns for success at the ballot box.
“As a first-time candidate, having Jasmine as my campaign manager made all the difference. …She met every challenge with tireless dedication, focus, and steady calm. Jasmine is an incredibly hard worker who jumps in, learns quickly, and takes ownership of whatever needs to be done. From organizing volunteers and cutting turf to building campaign structure and strategy from the ground up, her attention to detail and passion for community service kept the campaign moving forward. What began as a learning experience became a winning one because of her leadership. I couldn’t have asked for a more committed, capable, or grounded partner on this journey.”

What My clients have to say
“The conversations with people inside the jail were my favorite part of this experience. They had so many thoughtful questions and a clear desire to be civically engaged. I can’t fully describe how meaningful it was to share space with everyone.”

Civic Engagement & Policy Coordinator, Soul 2 Soul Sisters
