Public Lab

Our Mission

Public Lab creates, collects, applies, and shares accessible techniques for environmental investigation and advocacy. Public Lab envisions a healthier, more equitable world built on collective power and responsibility, where the needs of those most affected by environmental issues come first. We are part of a global movement to orient science to the common good and change how we see our communities in environmental, social, and political terms.

Our Culture 

Our nonprofit team is made up of activists, organizers, scientists, makers, DIYers, curious people, and assorted hybrids of all of the above, just like the Public Lab community.

The Public Lab nonprofit values guide our iteration on the collaborative practices we model in the community and as a staff.

Public Lab is committed to a diverse, multicultural work environment and we strive for our employees to reflect the lived experiences and diversity of our global community. We encourage people with different ability sets, socioeconomic backgrounds, people of color, and people of diverse sexual orientations, gender expressions, and identities to apply to open roles in our nonprofit.
