Mentors Are a Catalyst for Change
The Catalyst Collective uses a transformative approach to mentoring designed to help teens and adults identify purpose in a matter of hours rather than years.
Life is too important for teens and young adults NOT to have a mentor.
So why aren’t there more mentors?
They think they don’t have enough time.
They don’t know how to mentor effectively.
They don’t think they can connect.
This Is Not Your Typical Mentoring Program
You will have clearly defined time commitments
Our mentoring framework gives mentors options with clearly defined outcomes that can be used in person or remotely. No open-ended time commitments.
You will have training and support
We provide mentors on-demand and livestream training. Mentors also have access to ongoing training and support if they choose to be a part of our mentor community.
You will connect with your mentees

Why is mentoring such a Catalyst in the lives of others?
Today’s teens and young adults are like just about any previous generation. They wonder who they are, what they should do, and where they fit in.
What is different from past generations is that this generation doesn’t trust authority.
Why should they?
Parents, teachers, pastors/priests, government officials, law enforcement—those that should be a trusted, positive influence have let them down.
What makes this problem even more challenging is that many who should be investing in and leading the next generation are missing in action.
Perhaps because they think they don’t have time or don’t know how to relate to a younger person.
Whatever the reason, those wanting mentoring have a hard time finding a trusted mentor.
When we don’t invest in the next generation, they lack identity, purpose, and belonging.
We lose them to depression, addictions, incarceration and even suicide.
The question is…”Will your legacy include investing in the next generation?”
At the Catalyst Collective we understand your hesitation about investing your time and money into guiding the next generation. However we have a proven mentoring framework that works!
