Mission Statement
Citizen Labs works together with our entire community to promote transparency, better understand problems, and support informed decisions. We apply open data and open source technology, convene civic volunteers, and engage community leadership to create data-driven solutions.
About This Cause
Citizen Labs is a Grand Rapids, MI based organization that believes engaged citizens can improve their communities. We work together with our community to use open data and open source technology to promote transparency in government, better understand problems, make better choices, and provide solutions that work. Citizen Labs conducts two meetings per month for volunteers to gather and work on projects together. Volunteers also work independently outside of meetings. Participation in Citizen Labs is open to anyone and does not currently charge any fees. We do not tolerate discrimination or harassment of any kind and have a public Code of Conduct that governs participation in our activities, events, and digital forums. Our volunteer community runs and drives all Citizen Labs projects! We highly encourage all to become involved and contribute. We believe from our neighborhoods to our cities there's always more room for improvement. Whether it's starting a new project or proposing a new tool for the community to use, don't hesitate to just go for it! Every gift helps us continue our work — and do more — to engage citizens with their government and communities to radically improve the way government delivers services and serve their community.
