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.

The Rothko Chapel
The Rothko Chapel is an iconic, interfaith sanctuary in the heart of Houston that serves as both a place of spiritual reflection and a platform for transformative action. Founded in 1971, it was envisioned as a sacred space where people from all walks of life could come together across lines of religion, race, nationality, and ideology. Today, it stands at the intersection of art, spirituality, and human rights—hosting programs, dialogues, and performances that invite deep reflection and inspire social change.
