The Change Lab is an early-stage civic startup designing tools and experiences that make it easier for people to connect across difference and take meaningful action in their communities. We’re building a scalable model for social cohesion—starting in Houston, with a vision for national impact.

THE CHANGE LAB COALITION



  • We’re living in divided times—but also a moment of opportunity.

    Recent national data from More in Common shows 70% of Americans want to connect across lines of difference. The challenge isn’t willingness—it’s access. Most people would rather build community in person than argue online.

    The Change Lab exists to make that possible.
    Because when we connect, we create change.

  • Mission
    To spark belonging and civic connection through accessible tools, shared learning, and stories of community-led change.

    Vision
    A resilient community powered by people who show up for each other.

    The Change Lab is the next step—transforming that experience into a civic engine for connection and collective action.

  • A digital platform that lights up the pathways to belonging, collaboration, and action.
    Here’s what’s included:

    • Common Ground Meetups
      In-person gatherings to build trust across difference.

    • Civic Action Library
      Tools and stories to help you learn, reflect, and take action.

    • Partnership Network
      Aligned organizations working together to scale impact.

    • Interactive Platform (Coming Soon)
      A personalized map to show how and where you can plug in.
