Since its establishment in April 2006 as a non-profit 501c3 educational institution, The Lewin Center has created space (salons/colloquium/forums) and a place where students, faculty, scholars, practitioners and community leaders gather to engage in experiential learning, research, action and social discourse on social change and social justice issues.

We attend to what is happening on global, national and community levels for the purpose of enhancing the quality life for all. All this in the humanistic interaction of dialogue, learning and sharing research, writings and practice – in the spirit and concepts of Kurt Lewin.
