How We Came About
The Lansing Community Catalyst is an organization dedicated to empowering communities through the adequate training and educational programs. Her belief is that people are more receptive to approaches that are well-researched and well thought out when it comes to voicing community issues. She desires to help build bridges between community members and influential entities within communities. This is the foundation upon which “The Lansing Catalyst” was built.
