North Sound Collaborative Action Network

North Sound ACH has launched a learning, advocacy, and action network, open to all community members and organizations seeking to advance a just and inclusive culture and the necessary conditions required for all community members to thrive. Together network members will provide the assets, influence, and leadership for the Collaborative Action Network (the Network).


Network members are organizations, agencies, collectives, and individuals seeking equitable outcomes within Island, San Juan, Skagit, Snohomish, and Whatcom counties, and our region’s eight Tribal nations. 

Our members represent more than 200 organizations across many sectors, from clinical and social services to transformational justice, food systems, education, refugee and immigrant services, animal welfare, faith-based communities, LGBTQ+ advocacy groups, and so much more. Through the Network, we foster collaborations that break down silos, build relationships, promote resource sharing, and create learning opportunities.

Resource Library

The North Sound Resource Library is designed to make the wisdom, innovations, and best practices that already exist in North Sound accessible, and to link North Sound resources to national frameworks and thought partners. In collaboration with the Institute for People, Place, & Possibility and Community Initiatives Network.

We recognize that resources live in many forms: people, places, traditions, reports, webinars, videos, podcasts, checklists, tools, and more. These resources are contributed by library users, and ACH-sponsored events and programs, such as the Network Learning Series and Partner Convenings.
