Community Catalyst

In partnership with local community-based organizations in Lowell and Lawrence, Community Catalyst will support high school students and youth who have left school to take a chance on an entrepreneurial idea while receiving entrepreneurship and financial education. Community Catalyst enhances the programs of these organizations by strengthening a pathway for young people to experience entrepreneurship. 

The approach will include:

• Staff Development in Entrepreneurship and Financial Education
• Financial Education and Entrepreneurship Resources
• Events & Networking opportunities for youth to connect with each other and other in and outside the Sandbox
• Links to potential entrepreneurship coaches 
• Catalyst Grants
