Team Catalyst
Team Catalyst
We are all volunteers with various interests, skill sets, talents, passions, and experience levels. Everyone is welcome on Team Catalyst where together we can create, design, and implement projects that inspire empathy and understanding between people. We can give you the flexibility of discovering where you fit.
With Team Catalyst, you can feel like you are contributing in tangible and meaningful ways while also gaining practical experience for your own personal or professional development. Refine your skills or learn some new ones - we create an environment for growth.
College or University academic internships are available!
Volunteer Transcript
Volunteers browse a Task List of needs for the organization. Every task has a designated number of credits that you receive upon completion of the task. By completing a series of tasks, you can accumulate volunteer credits and grow particular skill sets for your professional or personal development. All completed tasks are compiled into a Volunteer Transcript which summarizes cumulative and quarterly credits earned. The Volunteer Transcript shows the tangible contributions you made to Catalyst while quantifying your level of growth in each skill set area. See the list of categories and skill set areas (volunteer activities) below.
All levels of experience are welcome! We will assist you in developing or refining your skills.
