What We Do:
The Courtyards Institute is a think tank dedicated to improving the effectiveness of American governance by confronting the central structural emergency of our time: state-sponsored lethargy. We do this by:
- Conducting extensive policy research. Our findings are published in comprehensive proposals and policy briefs. We also directly meet with lawmakers to inform legislation.
- Engaging with media & journalists to make our work accessible to policymakers, community leaders, and the general public.
- Pursuing long-term scientific research. These original publications vary in topic but are all designed to usher new frontiers in their fields and have nationwide impact.
- Sparking grassroots activism with our chapters based in universities and high schools across the country. These chapters partner with local organizations & run community service programs. By empowering students to take initiative, our chapters translate research and values into action that catalyzes the next generation of lean policy advocates.
Who We Are:
The Institute is a collective of students, researchers, and practitioners who advance lean & effective policy. Our independence from financial or establishment incentives allows us to operate with a level of discipline rarely seen in the policy world. We are nonpartisan, united by our reverence for the American experiment.
The Courtyards Institute is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization established in 2022 as J-To-A. The Institute is an affiliate of the Stanford Haas Center for Public Service.
We are named after our nature: like a courtyard, the Institute is bounded, deliberate, and at the heart of home.
