Communities are Catalysts.
At Community Solutions Lab, we equip communities to lead change by blending evidence-based strategies with local wisdom, fostering innovation, and advancing solutions rooted in lived experience.
Vision
We envision thriving communities where local leadership, collective wisdom, and collaborative action drive lasting change.
At Community Solutions Lab, we believe that lasting change begins within communities themselves.
We envision a future where the people most connected to the challenges are leading the way — where local leadership, shared wisdom, and collaborative action create stronger, healthier, and more equitable communities.
By investing in grassroots leadership, building collaborative spaces for innovation, and centering community voice, we aim to transform systems, uplift families, and strengthen the foundations of thriving neighborhoods.
Together, we are reimagining what’s possible — and building it, one solution at a time.
Mission
Our mission is to apply evidence-based practices, research expertise, and innovative strategies in partnership with communities — supporting and amplifying local leadership to drive sustainable, community-rooted solutions.
Community Solutions Lab draws on a strong foundation of technical expertise, research, evaluation, and community-centered design. We partner with residents, organizations, and change-makers to co-create innovative strategies, provide practical support, and help drive sustainable impact — all rooted in the wisdom, power, and agency of the community itself.
