Welcome to the Resource Center
The Change Lab’s Resource Center is your guide 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.
Belonging Builders: A Resource Guide
A powerful, practical guide for anyone working to build systems of equity, inclusion, and shared power. Created by the Othering & Belonging Institute (OBI) at UC Berkeley, this resource outlines how to move from “inclusion” to true belonging—grounded in structural change, Targeted Universalism, and bridging across difference.
Bookshelf: It’s In Our Bones
Personal and shared stories shape how we move—and how we belong. Bailey’s work rests at the intersection of identity, healing justice, and curiosity. By inviting readers to engage with ancestral scripts, this book cultivates empathy, continuity, and civic imagination.
The Lab (She Can Work)
Access to capital and professional guidance is crucial but often limited for women of color. The Lab fills this gap by providing structured support, mentorship, and community—helping founders build confidence and early-stage traction for their ventures.
A New National Narrative
