What Our Clients Say

“When me and my colleague Daniel began to dream and put some thought into our project, […] we wanted to work with people who understood the community we were serving and also who could be honest and open with us as much as possible. When I met Ari and Alexa, I knew almost right away that they were going to work on this project with us… I knew that if we were going to build a perfect park for children, we needed them on our team. They are smart and fun to work with. They take our ideas and give honest feedback. We love how committed they are with this project. We trust their judgement and respect their opinions as our partners…”

— Shakira Franklin, Clean & Green Program Specialist +Neighbor, Unity Park

 

"Working with Hinge over the years has been a pleasure. They truly understand the nature of community-based work and engagement, and go above and beyond in their commitment to seeing a project through to fruition. From leading youth build days to construction oversight, Ari and Alexa at Hinge have been hands on every step of the way with our Frankford Pause Park Project. "

- Ellie Devyatkin, Commercial Corridor Manager, Frankford Community Development Corporation
