Catalyst is a dynamic and exciting programme offering free training to young people of diverse faiths and backgrounds who are between 16 to 26 year of age. The programme equips young people with the skills and confidence to take on leadership roles, develop local social action and transform their own communities. 
Catalyst has four aims
To help young people:
• Develop the confidence and the commitment to act as agents of positive change
• Develop a positive identity for living in a multi-faith, multi-ethnic Britain
• Develop creative leaders to act as role models in local communities
• Develop the skills and experience to play their part in building a strong civil society and enhance their employability
How it works
• Phase One: Recruitment
Near Neighbours do this with the help of local partners, faith based organisations, schools, youth and community groups, further or higher education institutions as well as their Near Neighbours networks'
• Phase Two: Catalyst Learning
Near Neighbours brings together young people from different ethnic backgrounds, providing training, dialogue and facilitated learning on a range of topics related to leadership, media and communication, peace, identity, faith and social action
• Phase Three: Catalyst Futures
Near Neighbours provides ongoing connection with the programme through events, further sessions and opportunities to apply for funding, social media and local and national networks
