Partners & Community
Partnerships and community engagements are critical inputs to our Lab’s theory of change and ways we amplify having impact. From its inception, the Lab has invested in creating communities and partnerships, within Stanford and beyond, with organizations and change agents who help translate ideas into practice.
Key Lab Partnerships
Corporate Engagement
The Lab’s membership-based Corporate Affiliates Program was central to our work for over a decade, and members of the program partnered with the Lab as collaborators, thought partners, and explorers of what it takes to create sustainable change. In 2025, we shifted to an open-access model — making our research-based tools and resources publicly available. Videos, tools, and guides are available in the Tools & Resources section of our website.
Seeds of Change
Seeds of Change is a research-impact project designed to address barriers to women’s advancement in STEM and beyond. In our flagship on-campus program, Stanford undergraduates in STEM disciplines are partnered with groups of high school students interested in advancing the participation of girls and young women in STEM, and they lead them through an integrated curriculum of mentoring, training, and skills development. In our Educator Training Program, we partner with high schools and youth-serving organizations to train their educators in the Seeds of Change curriculum, which they deploy in their local contexts.
Stanford Impact Labs
The Lab is part of the university’s emphasis on putting social science to work for society. Lab Faculty Director and Principal Investigator, Shelley Correll, serves as Associate Director of Stanford Impact Labs (SIL), and Lab-affiliated PhD students, postdoctoral research scholars, and faculty participate in SIL’s professional development programs that support the design and advancement of impact-focused research
Our Stanford Community
The Stanford Community has long been a supportive ecosystem and source of rich partnerships, from the seed funding to launch the Lab to ongoing engagement with change agents and units across the campus. We appreciate and acknowledge those who have partnered — and continue to collaborate — on our work.
