FUTURE ANCESTORS SERVICES INC.​

​

WE SUPPORT CLIENTS AND COMMUNITY IN ADVANCING SYSTEMIC BARRIER REMOVAL AND CLIMATE JUSTICE.
 

We're an intergenerational team of Black, Indigenous, racialized, Queer, disabled, and Francophone professionals and advisors. Through this team we provide speaking, training, research and consulting services, and influencer and interview services to diverse clients.

 

The work we do with our clients and community partners explicitly work towards advancing climate justice, decolonization, and anti-racism.

 

We specialize in accessible, anti-ageist, anti-racist, bilingual, and transformational service delivery. And because our relationship to community is our leading relationship, we don't accept contracts that we determine go against our commitments and responsibilities.

OUR CREATION STORY
​

FUTURE ANCESTORS SERVICES WAS PATIENTLY AND COLLECTIVELY CREATED.

November 2019

Larissa leaves her last employment position due to overt racism, ageism, and ableism experienced in the workplace. She begins action planning to start a business in intergenerational family knowledge exchange sessions.

Fall - Winter 2020

As demand for our services grow, so does our team. Mo, Mariah, Chanèle, and Jacquie join Future Ancestors Services and quickly uptake complex contracts and contribute to organizational development.

  ​

Spring - Summer 2021

We break 200 clients in our first year. With racial and environmental justice bubbling to mainstream social consciousness, our demand continues to grow. We benefit greatly from the work of frontline activists, and we continue to pursue opportunities for reciprocity.

We begin to orient, and re-orient, our work using a methodology we would eventually refine into Relationship-Centered Strategic Planning.​

2023

This year we're focused on building our administrative support; shaping organizational direction with decolonial and Indigenous teachings; re-launching our direct community supports such as live events and our grant fund; and building our internal relationships. Chúk has transitioned out of the organization, and Larissa and Sam will continue to hold space for team members to take on more leadership roles within Future Ancestors Services and community.

OUR APPROACH TO SERVICES​

​

WE'RE ​QUITE INTENTIONAL ABOUT HOW WE 'DO BUSINESS'.

​

When your accountability lies with community, you are afforded a freedom to assert a position grounded in what is best for people, kin, and Earth. 

 

We understand that our client-facing services are one way that we can serve community and Earth: by supporting our clients through our services, we are improving their capacity to create better spaces and work outputs that honour people, kin, and environment in the past, present, and future. This is one way we serve community.

​

Like many of the ways we operate, we trusted in ourselves to formulate a new way of doing business that we haven’t necessarily seen or experienced before. You can read more about what these approaches look like in practice through service delivery on the Our Services page.
