Catalyst Conference application now available!

Applications are now available for the Catalyst Conference @ UNC Chapel Hill!
Every year, the Catalyst Conference brings a selected group of 100 high school students from across North Carolina to UNC Chapel Hill for a weekend-long exploration of social justice issues affecting both America and the larger world. Through leadership and personal development sessions, we aim to empower participants so they can serve as catalysts for positive change in their own communities. The Catalyst Conference serves a vital need, as encouraging today’s youth to take an interest in national and worldly issues is vital to securing an educated and passionate group of future leaders. These 100 students will face a challenging task; they will be asked to view the world through the eyes of another and come to a realization of the underlying similarities that connect us all.

Catalyst Conference 2014 seeks to:
Give high school students the opportunity to build and learn from personal relationships that transcend racial, ethnic, religious, and gender boundaries.
Provide an open forum for discussion of community issues of social justice and equality through a series of workshops to educate students about diversity and social issues.
Empower students to combat the apathy and ignorance threatening the future of America’s youth through personal development sessions and leadership training.
Create a network of peer support between high school students and college Catalyst Conference counselors.
Transform our high school students into catalysts for positive social change and generate a vision of social harmony for the 21st century and beyond.
Application found here.
