Humanity Lab Foundation

The Humanity Lab Foundation is a disruptive empathy-driven movement at the intersection of public policy and people power. As a collective of enablers, the Humanity Lab facilitates public engagement and social innovation to drive progress on human development and create an equitable and just world. Through a diverse portfolio of programs and initiatives, the Humanity Lab enhances global development systems by convening, connecting and collaborating with everyday people to solve complex challenges and drive social change. The Humanity Lab aims to: unlock human potential, break down barriers, provoke thought-leadership and knowledge sharing, facilitate partnerships, catalyze action, and democratize access to the power that shapes the world. The Humanity Lab has collaborated with a large array of partners including the Office of the President of the United Nations General Assembly, United Nations Office of Partnerships, United Nations, Qualcomm, The Elders, Warner Music, MTV and the Washington Diplomat. In 2017, the Humanity Lab launched our flagship program, the Global People’s Summit, the first-ever 100% online conference connecting the world to decision makers during the most exclusive and powerful global convening: The United Nations General Assembly. Leveraging innovative technology, we break down the barriers of geography, opportunity and access, giving all people a place in the decision making process by democratizing access to the conversations that shape the word. For the past two years, we have brought together governments, business leaders, influencers, innovators, activists and most importantly - everyday people - to discuss today’s most pressing challenges and take collective action to solve them. In the first two years of existence we reached more than 100 million people from over 175 countries, established over 40 local hubs in global communities and virtually connected with over 30 international speakers. We are just getting started.
