Hello, dear friends and supporters! 🌟

Thanks to your incredible support, our summer program was a resounding success! We took 150 young minds to The Children's Science Center in Orlando, The Kennedy Space Center on Merritt Island, and The Museum of Arts and Science in Daytona. These experiences were life-changing, especially for those who ventured beyond their neighborhoods for the first time.

Now, as we look toward the fall, we are determined to build on this success and overcome the severe financial challenges we faced. We need your help to continue providing these transformative experiences for our youth.

At CATALYST Global Youth Initiatives, we believe in the power of one-to-one mentoring. Our dedicated mentors meet with their mentees once a week, building confidence and rapport, guiding them from third grade all the way through high school graduation. This consistent support is crucial for their development and success.

And here’s a beautiful sign of our success: mentees who have completed the program and finished high school are now returning as mentors. They have experienced the positive impact mentoring has had on their lives and are eager to give back and do the same for other children. That is the C.A.T.A.L.Y.S.T. Effect!

Your donation will help us cover transportation, meals, entrance fees, and the necessary staff to ensure our programs run smoothly. Every contribution, no matter the size, directly impacts these young lives, providing them with access to enriching experiences that can shape their futures.

Since 2010, under the visionary leadership of Ms. Felicia Benzo, CATALYST has defied the odds, proving that all children, regardless of their background, deserve the chance to succeed. In 2018 alone, our programs served over 500 children across 35 schools in Volusia County, Florida. Our youth graduate from high school, and 100% of our program attendees go on to college, the military, entrepreneurship, or the workforce.

Many more children are waiting for the opportunity to improve their outcomes, and we need your help to make this possible. Please consider making a tax-deductible donation today through our Give Butter campaign. Your generosity will make a meaningful difference, empowering the next generation with knowledge and opportunities to dream big and achieve their goals.

Together, let's continue to create unforgettable memories and shape bright futures. Thank you for your continued support and for being a champion for education and youth development. 🌟
