“Recognizing that there is leadership in every community”
Program Overview
Connect with other local leaders to co-create innovative responses to community inequities. The Community Catalysts program convenes a diverse cross-section of rising and established leaders to engage in community-based design challenges.
Stay tuned for more opportunities on joining the program in 2021!
Our Goal
Our goal is to connect and develop rising community leaders to co-create equitable outcomes in their city. To challenge and change systems and institutions of power to be more equitable through strategic project based work. And to build a financially sustainable model that could be replicable in any city.
Over a multi-session cohort experience, catalysts will:
Complete a full Equity-Centered Design challenge
Understand how to use tools such as empathy listening, rapid prototyping, and testing
Apply your learning through strategic project-based work in real-time
