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.
Agents of Change in Environmental Justice
Most environmental policies are shaped without the voices of communities most impacted. Agents of Change shifts that balance by empowering underrepresented scholars to lead in media, science, and policymaking—redefining power, participation, and truth in public health and environmental spaces.
The City We Make Together: City Design and Participatory Culture
This book reframes city-making as a collaborative cultural process—shaped by stories, rituals, and relationships, not just bricks and regulations. It offers a vocabulary and set of practices for embedding empathy, pluralism, and public imagination into civic infrastructure, directly aligning with The Change Lab’s mission of building social cohesion and systemic change from the ground up.
Narrative Initiative
Narrative Initiative strengthens the connective tissue between story, power, and systemic change. Their work supports movements in building shared narratives that counter disinformation, deepen civic belonging, and make progress toward equity and justice possible.
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.
