Welcome to your Change Lab dashboard — your central hub for civic tools, local impact, and connection. Whether you’re dipping your toe in or doubling down on change, this is the space to begin, grow, and organize your momentum.
Choose from four Engagement Levels that meet you where you are — from getting curious to organizing for impact. Explore eleven civic Pathways rooted in what matters: food, housing, justice, education, systems change, belonging, and more.
Use the Content Types to filter by what moves you: stories, events, toolkits, podcasts, books, partners, and more. The control panels on the sides help you navigate, explore, and plug in.
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.
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.
