At Working Within, we are dedicated community consultants advancing the sustainability of world-changing leaders. We see our future as bright, and look forward to building an ecosystem of social change leaders through our work. We see our long term impact in three parts:
Developing Economies
Capital Deployment
Using Our Voice

Our Story
Working Within began in 2021 as a COVID-project podcast, where we interviewed incredible guests who inspired us to take action-- guests you might be familiar with like Christiane Pendarvis, former CEO of Savage X Fenty, and Aaron Walker, former CEO of Camelback Ventures.
What started as conversation quickly transformed into a mission-driven consulting agency when Charlyn was asked to serve as the Fund Development Manager for the Crowley Foundation. Our first long-term clients, Ken and Jean Crowley, let us work with them for 18 months to generate hundreds of thousands of dollars in new revenue.
It was a pretty validating first project. So now, we get to help others do the same.
We deliver tailored revenue growth strategies to help world-changing leaders grow their impact, strengthen the social sector, and create lasting change. Charlyn, recognized as an Inno Under 25 honoree by the Denver Business Journal, brings a wealth of experience from the C-Suite and management consulting. She’s driven by a passion for pushing Black leaders from sustainability toward wealth-building mindsets and practices.
Today, Working Within is proud to be one of Denver’s leading community consulting firms, committed to transforming leaders, communities and collaboration.
