CoLab (Collaboration Laboratory) is Circle of Friends' Safe Space's signature student-led collaboration process, where students work alongside families, educators, employers, and community partners to identify challenges, develop practical solutions, and strengthen opportunities for young people to thrive.
The first CoLab initiative, Project 25Thrive, launched in 2025 and centered on one guiding question: "How could our community and our schools work together to help all our youth prepare themselves to thrive in school and in life?"
Through this process, student voices become community partnerships, and community partnerships become meaningful action.
