Common Community Values

Catalyst, partner organizations, and individuals operate and collaborate within a set of Common Community Values:

• RELATIONSHIPS - we believe that the goal for every meeting, gathering, and/or connection is to nurture safe and healthy on-going meaningful relationships.



• RESOURCES - we believe that the strategic sharing of resources is the most effective way of addressing the practical and tangible needs of everyone in the community.



• PARTNERSHIP - we believe that the strategic partnerships of individuals and community organizations in collaboration towards a common interest are a model for individual and community unity.



• EMPOWERMENT - we believe that investing in the passions of community members and in the development of young emerging leaders are necessary for the sustainability of a life-giving community vision.



• CONTRIBUTION - we believe that the active participation of city residents willing to give back to their community in both tangible and intangible ways greatly enhances the life of the city.
