ABOUT

September Catalyst Week: Citizen Power 

Welcome to September Catalyst Week! This month, we have partnered with Citizen University for a week dedicated to empowering others to become catalysts for change in their own communities. We look forward to bringing together and learning from a group of influential changemakers, each working to make a difference in our world.

Citizen University (@CitizenUniv) works to help Americans cultivate the values, systems knowledge, and skills of effective citizenship. Core programs include the Civic Collaboratory, Sworn Again America, and the new Civic Power Curriculum, as well as an annual national conference. This is a pivotal moment for citizens from left, right, and center to reclaim responsibility for solving problems together. Citizen University believes citizenship is about showing up for community and country — and that anyone can be a great citizen.

We are so excited to welcome their team and others leading the charge in civic innovation.

The CatalystCreativ Team

Not familiar with CatalystCreativ? CatalystCreativ is a Downtown Project funded company that started here in August 2012. Our mission is to provide a window for the rest of the world into Downtown Project. We do this by creating unique and meaningful experiences in DTLV that encourage guests to engage with the project beyond Catalyst Week and spread the message of DTP to their own communities. Be sure to check out the Catalyst Board on Facebook (facebook.com/groups/catalystboard) to join the community and visit www.catalystcreativ.com to learn more.
