Community-Centered Research

Research is most powerful when it is grounded in the lived experiences of the community itself. At Community Solutions Lab, we design and conduct community-centered research that amplifies local voices, honors cultural knowledge, and informs action.

Through participatory methods and authentic engagement, we work alongside communities to co-create knowledge that drives solutions — not just studies problems. We use qualitative and mixed-method approaches to uncover root causes, elevate community perspectives, and inform more responsive and effective programs.

Our research supports efforts across a range of community priorities—including health, education, mental wellbeing, and systems change—always in partnership with those most impacted.

Whether through focus groups, interviews, needs assessments, or data synthesis, we help communities and organizations turn information into insight—and insight into impact.
