The child and youth-serving sector can’t do it alone. That’s why we’re here.
Youth Catalytics strengthens public and private agencies, coalitions, schools, and communities across the country through organizational planning and sustainability, professional development, research and program evaluation.
Our Mission
To advance and inspire the youth services sector by originating, gathering, and disseminating new knowledge, innovative practices, and courageous leadership.
Our Services
Our services are organized into three interconnected divisions.
“Having grown up in a broken foster care system I wanted to change that experience for others, which is why I created Think of Us. I was only able to get there because Youth Catalytics not only fiscally sponsored us for the first two years, but coached me through our first hire, first federal grant, and even our first White House event.”
— Sixto Cancel, CEO of Think of Us

Today we’re highlighting a new resource brief and podcast, both focused on Black educator recruitment and retention, featuring three programs and their leaders: Dr. Rashad Anderson from Call Me MiSTER, Dr. Trinity Davis from Teachers Like Me, and Keilani Goggins from The Black Educators Initiative. In the podcast, we discuss their strategies for recruitment, how they promote educator well-being and empowerment, and disrupt inequities. The accompanying brief outlines how their programs incentivize potential Black candidates to become teachers, and remain committed to the profession long term. Both resources are part of Working Well, a project we created with The National Center on Safe Supportive Learning Environments that focuses on educator well-being.
