Hi, I’m Colleen—Shaping Stronger Communities

I lead with strategy, creativity, and heart—designing inclusive spaces where people feel welcome, empowered, and ready to thrive.

Advocate, Educator & Program Leader

I’m Colleen Lyons Oyler—a community facilitator and program leader with 20+ years of experience designing inclusive learning environments across schools, museums, and nonprofit spaces. I’ve led teams of 40+, managed events serving over 3,000 visitors, and developed programs that engage multigenerational audiences with creativity, equity, and purpose.

My work centers on access, strategy, and human connection. From leading accessibility audits to guiding district-wide needs assessments, I bring people together around shared goals—and deliver measurable results. Whether managing front-line teams or designing curriculum for early learners, I lead with curiosity, data, and deep care for community.
