An open invitation to change makers, nonprofits, and funders ready to co-create solutions.

Who We Are:
In the heart of Miami, tucked into the pulse of neighborhoods often overlooked by traditional systems of power, The Freedom Lab stands tall—not just as a building, but as a vision. More than just a space with four walls, The Freedom Lab is a living, breathing movement where local change makers, grassroots nonprofits, and bold funders converge to reimagine what community transformation truly looks like.
At its core, The Freedom Lab is about radical collaboration. It was founded on the idea that real change happens not from the top down but from the ground up—with those most impacted leading the charge. Here, community voices are not just heard—they're amplified. Ideas aren't just discussed—they're resourced. And solutions aren’t prescribed—they're co-created.
“Beloved community is formed not by the eradication of difference but by its affirmation, by each of us claiming the identities and cultural legacies that shape who we are and how we live in the world. Community is that place where we know we are not alone.” — Bell Hooks
From Access to Action
Many community organizations are rich in passion and purpose but lack access to the tools, training, and physical space they need to expand their impact. The Freedom Lab bridges that gap.
We provide a vibrant hub equipped with multipurpose meeting rooms, media labs, training facilities, and tech support. But more importantly, we provide a culture of support, where nonprofits are treated as partners—not clients. Whether you're hosting a youth fellowship program, organizing a campaign, or brainstorming your next big initiative, this is the place where ideas turn into action.
One example is our youth-focused fellowship programs. These are more than internships—they're incubators for the next generation of organizers, thinkers, and builders. Youth are not just participants here; they are co-creators. Through mentorship, real-world experiences, and leadership development, they leave The Freedom Lab ready to spark change in Miami and beyond.
More Than a Movement, Event space in Miami—A Future
The Freedom Lab is more than an event space in Miami. It’s a movement. A sanctuary for innovation. A container for joy, strategy, and justice. And most of all, it’s a mirror of what Miami can become when we trust our people to lead.
We are building a future where equity isn't just a goal—it’s the foundation. Where collaboration replaces competition. Where young people don’t have to leave their communities to find opportunity—they create it right here.
So if you’re a change maker with a dream, a nonprofit ready to grow, or a funder looking to put your money where liberation lives—this is your invitation.
The Freedom Lab is waiting. And the future is being built right now.
