Childhood Prosperity Lab

Helping all children flourish, thrive, and succeed.

Prosperity: the condition of thriving or being successful  – Merriam-Webster Dictionary

Helping you have impact– it’s what we do.

Childhood Prosperity Lab (the Lab) seeks to help children flourish, thrive and succeed by building the capacity and transforming the culture of organizations serving and working on behalf of children. The Lab deploys a two-pronged approach. First, the Lab advances innovative strategies that address social, environmental, and behavioral drivers of child health, development, and well-being outcomes. Second, the Lab nurtures changemakers as they reimagine how we can help all children prosper.
