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.
Habitat for Humanity of Montgomery County
In one of the fastest-growing regions in Texas, affordable housing is increasingly out of reach for many working families. Habitat MCTX provides a pathway to homeownership through a model rooted in dignity, equity, and community partnership. Their approach reduces generational poverty, creates stability for families, and builds stronger neighborhoods from the ground up.
Compudopt
Why It Matters
The digital divide isn't just about internet access—it's about opportunity. Millions of families lack the devices or digital literacy needed to thrive in today’s society. Compudopt removes those barriers through computer distribution, digital skills training, and workforce development programs. This work is foundational to equity in education, employment, and civic participation—especially in underserved communities.
Convergence Center for Policy Resolution
At a time when political polarization threatens both governance and the social fabric, Convergence offers a proven model for collaborative policymaking rooted in trust and mutual respect. Their work helps leaders—and the public—move from conflict to consensus, from gridlock to solutions.
UpSkill Houston
UpSkill Houston addresses systemic workforce challenges by focusing on equity, access, and alignment. Their cross-sector approach makes them a vital regional convener and innovator in economic mobility, especially for historically underserved populations.
