I was made aware of the community by member Manoj Panjwani. I am already a member of other network-driven communities built around collaboration to advance systems change, including Opportunity Collaboration + the Participatory Grantmaking Community of Practice (of which I am a co-founder). I get massive benefit out of these -- as a nonprofit news publisher, I am always looking for local-level data, and connections to thought leaders. I am interested in the Systems Change Learning spaces

As a Co-Founder and Executive Director of Vibrant Voices Village Community Based Organization My motivation to be part of Catalyst 2030 stems from a deep commitment to sustainable development and a desire to contribute to systemic change on a global scale. Catalyst 2030 represents a unique platform where like-minded individuals and organizations collaborate to accelerate progress towards the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Being a part of this movement aligns perfectly with my passion for driving social impact and my experience in advocating for sustainable solutions in communities. As someone deeply involved in grassroots initiatives, particularly in water efficiency and community development projects, I have witnessed firsthand the transformative power of collective action. Catalyst 2030 offers an opportunity to amplify these efforts by connecting with a global network of changemakers, sharing knowledge, and learning from innovative approaches across different sectors. I am particularly motivated by the chance to work alongside pioneers in social entrepreneurship and sustainable development, as this collaboration can lead to innovative solutions that address complex global challenges. Being part of Catalyst 2030 would not only enhance my capacity to effect change but also allow me to contribute my insights and experiences to a broader conversation, ultimately helping to shape a more inclusive and sustainable future for all. Joining Catalyst 2030 is not just an opportunity to be part of a global movement; it’s a commitment to pushing boundaries, challenging the status quo, and working tirelessly to achieve a world where the SDGs are not just aspirations but realities.
