Be the Catalyst Summit

We all want clean air to breathe, fresh water to drink, and safe homes protected from extreme heat and flooding. Let's make it happen!

Shaping Miami’s Climate Solutions Together

The Be the Catalyst Summit is our signature gathering where community leaders from all walks of life explore and co-create solutions to Miami-Dade County's most critical challenges. Formerly known as the Poverty Solutions Summit, it is a space where grassroots business, faith, and civic leaders can come together for a series of important conversations and learning sessions.

Together, we're building a Miami everyone can afford, for generations to come.This event is co-sponsored by the Earth Ethics Institute at Miami Dade College.
