The work of the CivicLab

The CivicLab is a nonprofit 501 c 3 (tax exempt) community-facing “do tank” dedicated to accelerating and deepening grassroots democracy, civic engagement and social justice efforts through collaboration, education and innovation. We conduct original action-oriented research in civic engagement and democratic practices and disseminate this knowledge to neighbors, organizers and leaders across Chicagoland in order to move justice and fight for a robust public sector. We originate and build tools for civic investigation, sustainable grassroots leadership development, civic accountability and civic collaboration.

We seek to expand civic imagination about what is possible for Chicago’s future.

We are helping to recruit, develop, equip and inform new leaders to take us to that future.

Our method is: Investigate. Fabricate. Educate. Activate.

Our current programming:
