Support Practice
The Activist Lab is a catalyst for bold public health practice—where knowledge meets action, and advocacy drives impact. Rooted in a commitment to justice, equity, and community engagement, the Lab empowers students, faculty, and partners to confront public health challenges with tenacity and compassion.
Your philanthropic support fuels this mission. Through programs like Impact Grants, the Activist Lab provides micro-funding for student-led projects that address urgent issues—from adolescent health and substance use to housing insecurity and environmental justice. These hands-on initiatives not only create meaningful change in communities but also equip students with the skills and confidence to be lifelong change agents.
