*About Character Lab*

Character Lab is a nonprofit devoted to advancing the science and practice
of character development. We were founded in 2012 by two educators (Dave
Levin and Dominic Randolph) and one scientist (Angela Duckworth) who see
character development as essential to helping all children thrive.

Our research has shown that success and well-being depend on a multitude of
strengths that are organized into three dimensions: interpersonal,
intrapersonal, and intellectual. Interpersonal strengths like gratitude and
empathy enable caring relationships with other people; intrapersonal
strengths like grit and growth mindset enable achievement; and intellectual
strengths like curiosity and humor enable a fertile life of the mind.

To advance the science of character development, Character Lab connects
leading psychologists with middle and high schools across the country. To
advance the practice of character development, Character Lab translates
research findings into Playbooks, instructional materials co-created with
scientists, educators, and designers. To learn more, see our most recent Annual
Letter.

Our culture is both challenging (we’re never done improving) and supportive
(one of our core values is excessive generosity). We are a small team
working under one roof. To learn more, read our Culture Book.
