Community Action Team
What Is CAT?
Big Thought’s Community Action Team (CAT) provides civic engagement opportunities, career and advising workshops, relationship-building experiences, and resources to youth who are currently participating in Big Thought programs or are program alumni.
Young adults on the team represent Dallas in a national body of Community Action Teams through a partnership with Opportunity Youth United. CAT members are simultaneously stakeholders and shareholders, working to create change within the organization, their communities, and themselves.
My favorite CAT memories are the things we do together… just community-building within the CAT community. If we can’t build together, how are we supposed to build outside and build everywhere else?
