Lockhart Discipline Management Center Principal Ethan Peters wrote a letter of endorsement for Catalyst for Change, noting his students can see people care about them, provide opportunities and experiences for them and see the value and worth in themselves, and in partnering with the Catalyst collective, a program can be built that aims to provide such students with essential tools for success.
Peters specifically noted tools such as mentoring, leadership development, real life skills, internships and job placement.
“We have seen the impact of this program after just one semester and it extends beyond the classroom,” Peters said. “Students are seeing that we care about them and are doing what we can to provide them with opportunities and experiences for them to find their strengths. This all leads to a healthier student, happier families, and a more positive community.”
