The people behind the work

“Catalyst Circles felt personal, practical, and community centered. It was not just about learning information or completing assignments; it was about understanding ourselves, connecting with others, and thinking about how we could create meaningful change.”

“The skills I learned through Catalyst Circles were life changing. I learned that speaking up wasn't the problem, it was about learning how to speak up in a more systematic and strategic way to create the greatest impact.”

“Through the program, I learned that creating change isn't only about fighting what is wrong. It's about being resourceful, having a creative vision, and finding the resources to help create the better world you want to see.”

“The program strengthened my ability to identify the barriers people face and navigate community resources to help them address important challenges.”

“I appreciated the positive, relaxed, and comfortable learning environment. The thoughtfully designed curriculum and supportive approach made learning more enjoyable than traditional school settings while still helping me learn so much.”

“The career lessons showed me that there are multiple paths a Community Health Worker can take and that the future of CHW employment is bright. I gained new and useful skills, and I would highly recommend Catalyst Circles.”
