AmeriCorps
Communities thrive when everyone has the opportunity to have their voices heard and be involved. Community engagement is the cornerstone of creating a strong, vibrant, and healthy environment. Catalyst CT is dedicated to nurturing open communication and fostering collaboration among organizations, institutions, and the individuals we serve.
In partnership with AmeriCorps, we strengthen our communities by engaging our neighbors in service opportunities that address local issues while helping them gain valuable skills and experience. AmeriCorps members receive an education award (Segal AmeriCorps Education Award) to help pay for college or loans upon successfully completing their service term.
