Catalyst CT

Lisa has been doing this work for decades.

That means she’s seen what happens when systems fail young people—and what’s possible when they don’t.

At Catalyst CT, Lisa leads mediation and diversion programs that help keep youth out of the court system and focused on growth, accountability, and second chances.

This work doesn’t happen overnight. It takes patience, consistency, and a deep belief that change is possible.

And she’s been showing up for it every day.

👉 Drop a 💙 if you believe in second chances.

Maria Star builds trust one conversation at a time.

She meets people where they are, listens without judgment, and celebrates every step forward—no matter how small.

Because real change doesn’t happen all at once.

It happens in moments.
