Empowering Communities.
Supporting
Change.
Social Innovation Lab is dedicated to driving community-led change through partnerships and research to build equitable, innovative, and sustainable systems. At the heart of our work is the belief that lasting progress happens when communities themselves shape the solutions. By aligning resources, amplifying local voices, and strengthening existing programs, we not only improve systems but also expand opportunities for people to thrive—impacting quality of life, economic stability, and future growth for generations.

In The Works
Social Innovation Lab is always thinking and moving, just like the communities we live in. Here are a couple of new projects we are developing...
Voices at the Table: A Community Conversation
We are developing Voices at the Table, a community engagement initiative where residents will come together to co-create a Shared Community Vision—ensuring those most affected by systemic challenges are shaping the policies and programs that will impact their lives.
Healthy Kids, Stronger Wichita
That Pop-Up Restaurant is growing into more than just a summer food site—we are working to build a year-round program to make sure kids in Wichita, ages 1 to 18, always have access to fresh, healthy meals outside of school.
Imagine the future—what programs should Wichita have?
SIL is always on the lookout for great ideas to help improve the lives of Wichitans. Do you have an idea for a new program, or something cool you've seen and want to see it here? Click the button below and let us know!
