what we do

RESEARCH & INNOVATION

Through in-depth research with communities across the country and Americans of all walks of life, we ensure that our work is responsive to the needs of our ever-evolving society.

WORK WITH COMMUNITIES

Our work is in the sweet spot between society’s fault lines and the community conditions that create civic culture. We help communities catalyze deeper, shared, and lasting change.

TEACHING THE PRACTICE

We want to make the transformative Harwood approach available to all. Our team is developing a school with a variety of ways to build your ability and confidence, and unleash your innate capacity to transform your community and your life.

BRINGING PEOPLE TOGETHER

We host in-person and virtual events including the annual Harwood Summit, speaking tours, and roundtables. These are unique opportunities to engage in conversation and reflect upon and deepen work in community.
