Testimonials

"Participating in Catalyze equipped me with data and information to better understand and advocate to help solve the most dire challenges that our City faces. Catalyze also introduced us to dynamic leaders that are already acting in meeting those challenges. I was honored to learn and network with my cohort members, who are like minded in our resolve to improve life for the residents of the Valley." - Dani Portillo, Catalyze Class 1 & Explore 1 Graduate

"Catalyze has given me a greater understanding on those crucial issues impacting Arizona, while connecting me to like minded leaders who want to make an impact. The knowledge I have obtained from Catalyze will allow me to expand my reach, strengthen my leadership skills and empower me to work towards change while hearing all perspectives. Catalyze was definitely worth my time and energy. " - Kristina Sabetta, Catalyze Class 1 Graduation & Workforce Development Team Member

"The biggest differentiator with this type of volunteering has been the ability to connect organizations who have worked towards the same goal, but that have not necessarily been working together to reach those goals. To me, it feels like these types of connections are what will make lasting impacts in the community." - Stephen Flaaen, Institute Class 41 Graduate & Impact Maker Early Childhood Absenteeism Team Lead

"I've never been part of a network like Valley Leadership. Almost every organization we've been in touch with has VL alum, usually at the top of the leadership structure. The doors have been wide open to decision makers and having VL in common means the trust building is quick and partnerships happen naturally." - Clint Houston, Institute Class 41 Graduate & Impact Maker Covid-19 Response Chair
