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.
Compassionate Houston
Compassionate Houston is a volunteer-led nonprofit dedicated to fostering empathy, unity, and social connection across Houston’s diverse communities. Founded in 2011 and inspired by the global Charter for Compassion, the organization promotes compassion as a practical tool for individual well-being and civic renewal. Through programs in education, the arts, mindfulness, and community service, they invite Houstonians to live compassionately in public and private life.
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.
