Every Lab gives leadership formation a practical setting for learning, support, and service.
Every member develops a distinct project with their own team. You may join before defining one: write a one-page brief, recruit your team, and use the TGLC Vision Roadmap to plan a first test. Aim for a tangible result within 30 days of joining. Your project need not be a business.
Each Lab chooses collective work that fits community needs and its members’ capacity. Members name a project lead, share tasks, and agree on evidence of progress. Joining another member’s team, or the Lab’s project, does not replace your own.
