the think tank at the thinkubator
The Think Tank at The Thinkubator was originally launched at The Thinkubator, a New York–based nonprofit organization dedicated to empowering youth voice through research, analysis, and policy. Founded by a group of committed scholars and researchers, The Think Tank began as a hub for rigorous academic, scholarly, and professional research that documented and evaluated The Thinkubator’s activities and explored the Bronx and New York City as a contested urban form.
Today, while The Think Tank remains housed at The Thinkubator, it has expanded its scope to take on a national approach to policy-oriented action research. Co-led by Dr. Edward Summers and The Thinkubator, The Think Tank continues to uphold its founding goals: to produce relevant, accessible, and action-oriented research that informs public policy and drives social change.
The Think Tank provides the following activities:
- Produce Policy Briefs and Reports
- Conduct Research and Analysis
- Evaluate and Measure programs and activities for The Thinkubator and other nonprofit organizations
- Host meetings, seminars, and public forums to elevate voices
- Provide young people with research and analysis to elevate their voices
- Allow young people a platform to conduct research, analysis, and provide policy reports and papers
- Support the reimagining of a youth driven economic development strategy throughout the United States
