Ilinisa Hendrickson, Senior Director                                                        ilinisa@threemountains.org    

Ilinisa has spent the last twenty years at the intersection of social justice and health equity. She has implemented scores of action research and participatory evaluation projects with a wide variety of partners in order to amplify community and participant voices. She has worked on issues ranging from unaccompanied refugee minor rights to reproductive health to restorative justice for survivors of intimate violence. She believes that organizations should extend their values to include their evaluation and research methods, and center community in the development, evaluation and dissemination of their work. Ilinisa sees the power of participatory action research as a tool to counter oppression.

Ilinisa is named after a mountain that her parents could see from their former home in Ecuador.  In turn, she and her partner have named their three children after mountains in various parts of the world where they have lived, worked, and traveled.  She finds joy and connection when bringing art to her work, most particularly through her work in the photovoice method.
