It's been a season of coming home.

Our founder returned after welcoming her daughter.

Another cohort of fellows completed a journey that will now continue in their own communities.

We paused to celebrate five years of Parity Lab, even as we began building what's next through Project Greenlight.

Looking back, we feel like while programs begin and end, the relationships, conversations, and ripple effects continue long after. Thank you for continuing to be part of ours!

💫 In the Spotlight:

Parity Lab Turns 5!!! ✨

July marked five years of Parity Lab. What began as a small idea has grown into a global community of changemakers working to prevent GbV through trauma-informed leadership and prevention. To celebrate this milestone, we're sharing a special anniversary series on our social channels, (Instagram and LinkedIn) where Mathangi reflects on how Parity Lab began, the challenges along the way, and the journey that brought us here.

✨ It's Parity Lab's Anniversary Week! To celebrate, we're taking you back to where it all began.

This goes without saying but thank you to everyone who has been part of these first five years. Here's to everything still to come!

Grameen Jyothi Cohort 5 Graduates! 🎓

Congratulations to our Grameen Jyothi Fellowship Cohort 5!

Over the past few months, these grassroots leaders from across India have explored trauma-informed leadership, their own emotional wellbeing, leading to community change. As they graduate, we're excited to see how they carry these learnings into their work and their communities!

🧠 Project Greenlight is Growing!

We're building the next chapter of Project Greenlight.

This year, we'll launch our first founding community of 150 young people, a space where members can ask questions (anonymously), join live conversations with therapists and educators, access bite-sized resources, and learn the relationship skills many of us were never taught.

On that note, we're also looking for a Community & Growth Manager to help bring Project Greenlight to life. If that sounds like you, or someone you know, we'd love to hear from you. Read the full job description here.

Project Greenlight has one of the largest youth- and parent-led listening surveys on relationships and safety in the US and Canada. This survey directly shapes: Workshops, parent and educator resources, A public white paper releasing later this year
