The Public Value Greenhouse was developed in cooperation with the Grounded Idealist to cultivate the future of public service and nurture new generations of conscious social innovators. This is a space for exploration, not just execution. Through a co-created supportive, coaching-centered, and innovation-driven space, this program focuses on both the person and the project. Whether you have a seed of an idea, a social issue you care deeply about, or just a sense that you want to do something meaningful, this program is designed to help you take the next step.

The Public Value Lab’s Idea-crafting Workshop, Part II presented 10 ideas for critique at the Potter's House in NW Washington DC. Participants were provided material on value propositions, stakeholder analysis, business models and other concepts to further refine their concepts in a rigorous environment within a trusted cohort.
