Catalyse Change CIC: Empowering Girls and Young Women to Create a Sustainable Future
Catalyse Change CIC is a social enterprise based in Bristol, UK, that is dedicated to empowering girls and young women with the skills and knowledge they need to create sustainable communities, careers, and planet. The organization's mission is to inspire young women with the confidence and belief that they can make a positive impact on the world.
At Catalyse Change CIC, we believe that sustainability is not just about protecting the environment but also about creating healthy and happy communities. We recognize that girls and young women are often underrepresented in sustainability fields despite being key stakeholders in shaping our future. Therefore, we aim to provide them with opportunities for personal growth while equipping them with practical skills for sustainable living.
Our programs are designed for girls aged 14-24 who are interested in pursuing careers or education related to sustainability. We offer various courses such as Sustainable Fashion Futures, Sustainable Food Futures, Sustainable Business Futures, etc., which provide hands-on experience through workshops led by industry professionals.
Our flagship program is the Catalyse Change Summer School - an intensive week-long residential course where participants learn about sustainable living practices while developing their leadership skills. The summer school includes sessions on climate change science, circular economy principles, ethical fashion design techniques as well as visits from inspiring female leaders working towards a more sustainable future.
We also offer mentoring support throughout our programs so that participants can receive guidance from experienced professionals who have worked in various sustainability fields. Our mentors help participants develop their career goals while providing advice on how best to achieve them.
Catalyse Change CIC has been recognized for its work by several organizations such as UnLtd (the Foundation for Social Entrepreneurs), Ashoka UK (a global network of social entrepreneurs), RSA (Royal Society of Arts), among others. Our team comprises passionate individuals who have extensive experience working in sustainability, education, and social enterprise sectors.
We believe that our work is essential in creating a sustainable future for all. By empowering girls and young women with the skills and knowledge they need to create positive change, we are contributing towards a more equitable and just society. Join us in catalyzing change today!
