THE CHANGE LAB is a nonpartisan civic initiative working to build strong and resilient communities through research, strategy, technology, and programming. We focus on strengthening civic life, fostering connection across lines of difference, and equipping everyday people with the tools to participate in public life.

WHAT HOUSTON IS TELLING US.
According to the Connection Opportunity report by More in Common, 72% of Houstonians want to connect across lines of difference, but don’t know how. The Change Lab meets that need by moving people from curiosity to real-world connection and civic action — creating the structures that make engagement easier, more inviting, and more meaningful.
