2008 Catalyst Summit Details and Application - Due May 23rd

It's back! We're extremely excited to announce our second Catalyst summit. We're looking for 100 students from all across the state who are current 8th-11th graders. This is an opportunity to learn about how to get involved with Catalyst, and how to be an activist and advocate in your area.

The application has all the details but here is the quick rundown.

Date:June 11-13 2008

Location:St. Paul Campus of the University of Minnesota

Cost: Free! All you have to do is get there!

We're looking for current 8th-11th graders who would like to get involved in an incredible once a year event. We will be staying the dorms on the U of M campus, and getting to know people from all across the state, and getting involved in the fight against the tobacco industry.

Anyone can apply, if you've been to the last summit, or this is your first time. There is also a concurrent adult track to the summit which we will be a great way to learn more about Catalyst, youth involvement, and talk with other groups doing similar work statewide.
