Calyxeum's 501c3 arm Calyxeum Catalyst is a community focused initiative and one of our top priorities. Calyxeum Catalyst is 100% committed to making the surrounding community a better place for the citizens of Detroit. We are located in District 7, which is home to beautiful parks such as the impressive and immense Rouge Park. We are partnering with well known active and accomplished community organizations to create programs and employment opportunities making District 7 a better place to live. It is very important to us that we beautify and positively impact the surrounding area by sponsoring nearby playgrounds, providing mentors for an afterschool program, and volunteering our time to educate groups such as the elderly and veterans. We also have plans to create tutoring programs at nearby schools and rehab vacant homes that surround our business. Calyxeum Catalyst wants to have a lasting impact on our community. Our non profit's mission will also educate the community on health and wellness practices as well as provide resources for the urban community to create generational wealth. Our 4 Program Pillars Include: 1. Community Urban Gardening 2. Workforce Development Programs 3. Rehabbing Dilapidated Urban Homes 4. Afterschool STEM Program
