Catalyst Program

The United Way Catalyst Program is a United Way program that helps train nonprofit volunteer leaders of tomorrow. Over the course of nine sessions, we will provide education in areas such as governance, financial accountability, advocacy, diversity and inclusion, and fundraising. We also provide opportunities for participants to learn about the many different structures and models of nonprofits and to gauge their individual interest in potential volunteer leadership roles within these nonprofits in our community.
