Interaction Institute for Social Change

What is Interaction Institute for Social Change?

The Interaction Institute for Social Change (IISC) is a consulting and training organisation founded in 1993 and headquartered in Boston, Massachusetts. IISC helps groups collaborate more effectively to create social change, offering facilitation, coaching, capacity building, and training services to nonprofits, foundations, government agencies, and coalitions working on complex social issues.

The organisation's approach centres on collaborative governance, network building, and racial equity. IISC has worked with hundreds of organisations and coalitions to strengthen their ability to work across difference and create lasting systemic change. Their methodology integrates facilitative leadership, adaptive management, and equity-centred design.

Where will I work?

IISC is headquartered in Boston, Massachusetts, and operates a hybrid work model. Team members split time between the Boston office and remote work. Given the consulting nature of the work, staff also travel to client sites for facilitation and training engagements. The hybrid arrangement provides flexibility while maintaining team connection and collaboration.

What is the team like?

With approximately 42 employees, IISC is a small, diverse team of facilitators, consultants, trainers, coaches, and support staff. The team is deeply committed to social justice, racial equity, and collaborative approaches to change. Many team members bring lived experience from the communities and movements they serve, creating a rich and authentic organisational culture.

Work-Life Balance

IISC operates a 4-day, 32-hour work week at full salary. As an organisation dedicated to social change, IISC practices what it preaches by prioritising staff wellbeing and modelling progressive workplace policies. The shorter work week acknowledges that consulting and facilitation work can be intense, and that rest and renewal are essential for sustained impact.
