The Change Lab’s Resource Center is your hub for civic learning and action — featuring training modules, upcoming webinars, spotlights on aligned organizations, and a calendar of local events. Whether you’re just getting started or looking for your next step, this is where knowledge meets community — and where small actions can lead to real change.
Please note: This is a temporary site while we build out the full Civic Impact Engine — a next-generation platform designed to help you explore personalized pathways into civic life, connection, and community action. We’re excited you’re here at the start. Let’s build something meaningful together.

Houston in Action
The Houston in Action member organization network operates on the belief that we can do greater things together than we can apart and that the more influence our communities have over the systems and services that are meant to support us, the better able we are to lead the lives we want to live.
The Othering and Belonging Institute
The Othering & Belonging Institute at the University of California, Berkeley advances groundbreaking research, policy, and ideas that examine and remediate the processes of exclusion, marginalization, and structural inequality—what we call othering—in order to build a world based on inclusion, fairness, justice, and care for the earth—what we call belonging.
The Connection Opportunity
Experts often warn of a growing crisis of connection. Yet in a time when Americans feel divided, do they really want to connect with others—especially with those who are different from them? And if they do, what’s standing in their way?
May 28th 2pm Strengthen Social Connections Webinar
Bridging across divides and creating a shared sense of belonging in communities is essential to sustain a broader socially connected community. Approaches that honor the diversity of members in the community require bringing people together across differences to avoid othering and siloing of subgroups.
We’re a brand new organization focused on connection, civic participation, and shared understanding. This is our temporary website while we build out a full online platform to better serve our community. In the meantime, we’d love your support and input as we grow. You can support our work or schedule a conversation to learn more and get involved.
