Mary C. Parker

I am on a path to leave the world better then I found it. As an international dialogue facilitator I am a committed and dedicated ally to community organizations and justice using coaching and consulting to transform people and organizations.

I co-found Just Collaboration, an organization that encourages justice, understanding, support, and tenacity with our clients. We offer custom workshops, strategic planning, board development, coaching (individual, executive, team) and conflict mediation.

I am a proud AmeriCorps Alum with City Year that spends my free time dig musical improv and currently lives in Pittsburgh, PA.
