The Sequoia Foundation is commitment to engaging communities in dialogue and collaborative decision-making that builds community capacity, strengthens social networks, guides policy, protects health, and enhances research.  Sequoia's experience with participatory research, stakeholder involvement, media relations, health education, training, and public informatics strengthens all of the work we do with communities.  Our extensive work with Native American, Asian Pacific Island, Ugandan, Native Alaskan, African-American, and Hispanic communities have included a variety of study areas, from subsistence fishing, genetics, and pesticide exposure to health disparities.
