About Anne Chance
Dr. Anne Chance designs Solution Labs—collaborative, cross-sector spaces where communities unite to solve complex challenges with creativity, dignity, and shared ownership. These labs bring together practitioners, scholars, and local voices to address issues like cultural preservation, trauma, conflict, and sustainability. Rather than one-size-fits-all answers, we build systems that adapt, include, and endure.
At the heart of each lab is a belief: communities already hold the wisdom they need to heal and thrive. My role is to create space for that wisdom to surface, guide conflict-sensitive practice, and ensure solutions are socially, culturally, and structurally resilient.
Whether reimagining governance, designing trauma-informed tools, or protecting heritage, Solution Labs center co-creation, not control. Together, we turn fractured systems into futures worth inheriting. Let’s connect if your work centers inclusion, accountability, and sustainability.
