Purpose, Partnership, Progress
POP LABS is reimagining how governments, nonprofits, and communities grow together.
Who We Are
POP LABS is a coworking and community innovation hub that helps individuals and families access coordinated support through partnerships with municipal and county governments, mid-size nonprofits, grassroots organizations, and surrounding businesses — aligning services, data, and design to cultivate dignity, trust, and measurable community growth.
Our Purpose
POP LABS is built on the belief that trust, compassion, accountability, stability, and collaboration can transform how public systems serve people. We strengthen the connection between governments, nonprofits, and communities — creating shared spaces where collaboration leads to lasting stability and collective progress.
Why We Exist
To rebuild trust and stability in public systems by helping governments and nonprofits work in alignment and purpose — so that people experience services not as bureaucracy, but as care. POP LABS exists to restore dignity, foster opportunity, and measure progress in ways that prove collaboration between governments, nonprofits, and local partners can transform neighborhoods and lives.
How We Work
POP LABS operates through the Power of Three: Purpose. Partnership. Progress.
Purpose
Every collaboration begins with shared intention. We center our work on community care, designing spaces where policy meets people with dignity and empathy.
Partnership
Change happens through connection. POP LABS convenes municipal agencies, mid-size nonprofits, grassroots organizations, and surrounding businesses to co-deliver services and opportunities under one roof.
Progress
We measure what matters. Using data, design, and lived experience, POP LABS turns collaboration into visible, accountable community outcomes.
What We Create
Coworking hubs where governments, nonprofits, and community partners turn policy into practice — spaces where collaboration becomes the infrastructure for community care.
POP LABS brings together public and private partners to: Host governments, nonprofits, and grassroots organizations in shared, accessible environments; offer rotating service delivery and curated community programming that meets people where they are; and facilitate collaboration, funding alignment, and capacity-building for sustainable growth.
Our Vision
A future where governments, nonprofits, and communities work together in trust and stability — building systems that not only sustain, but also help everyone reach their full potential.
Our Values
Stability
We provide consistent, accessible spaces where governments, nonprofits, and communities connect and deliver services with reliability and care.
Trust
We are grounded in community. We listen, gather feedback, and use both data and lived experience to improve continuously.
Compassion
We navigate policies with care — ensuring access, dignity, and oversight in how services reach people.
Accountability
We measure what matters — tracking impact and improvement through both numbers and narratives.
Collaboration
We convene leaders across sectors to share resources, strengthen capacity, and create lasting change through partnership.
What's Next
POP LABS is developing a cloud-based CRM and SaaS platform to train stakeholders, streamline service referrals, and capture measurable impact across agencies and organizations. This digital platform will allow partners to visualize outcomes in real time, track collaboration effectiveness, and strengthen accountability across government and nonprofit networks.
As the model expands, POP LABS will replicate its design across New Jersey and the Mid-Atlantic region, adapting each hub to local needs while maintaining the same commitment to trust, dignity, and data-driven collaboration.
