About / Catalyst Guild

People. Projects.
Places. Possible.

Catalyst Guild is a community-based collective in the Skagit River Valley.

We're starting with what we can do now: gathering in existing spaces, sharing experience, building relationships, and helping promising projects find the people and resources to move forward.

Our purpose

Building community capacity in public.

We're establishing Create State, a public community center and working home, while bringing together a Community Generalist Network of people who create and sustain the resources, services, infrastructure, and cultural contexts that make community life possible.

Community work

Professional work and labors of love.

Some of this work is professional. Much of it is volunteer work, personal initiative, and labor of love. All of it can contribute to making our communities more interesting, welcoming, capable, and resilient.
