PHASE 1

INVEST IN
CHANGEMAKING

The Changemakers Project is built around a central process that begins with Insight feeding Innovation, informing Advocacy and Experiences.

The ChangeLab is the Project’s home, a place where leaders gather in person and virtually, a studio to produce stories from Changemakers, a skills hub for onboarding volunteers, and a real-time lab testing innovations through experiences, practices, reporting and advocacy.

The ChangeLab is the Project’s home, a place where leaders gather in person and virtually, a studio to produce stories from Changemakers (Advocacy), a skills hub for onboarding volunteers, and a real-time lab testing innovations in experiences, practices, reporting and advocacy.

The ChangeLab is a multipurpose space on the ground floor of our headquarters building on Independence Mall in Philadelphia. Adjacent to the Faith and Liberty Discovery Center (FLDC), in America’s “most historic square mile,” the ChangeLab is an essential part of the Bible Society’s focus on America. YOU can help bring this to life with a naming gift and lean in with us to shape this space.
