Be the Catalyst Summit

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.
