Our Committees
One way to get involved in Catalyze SV is to check out our Project Advocacy Committee! Or our Advisory Board.
Project Advocacy Committee
Identifies, vets & advocates around proposed new development projects. At meetings, we invite developers to present their proposed projects. We ask them questions, discuss, and then score those projects. Our scores set the table for our advocacy around projects. If you like envisioning & advocating for better developments in our Valley, this Committee is a fantastic fit for you!
As needed
Held virtually via Zoom.
Email us for the agenda or watch the developer's presentations live on our Facebook page or on our YouTube page.
Program Update: Community Engagement Ambassadors and Leaders Team
Update: September 2025
For the past two years, our Community Engagement Ambassadors and Leaders Team has been proudly supported by the Silicon Valley Community Foundation. During that time, we welcomed 30 community members with lived experience from underrepresented backgrounds. Of those, 15 actively participated in professional development opportunities to support their career growth and civic involvement—including training in meeting facilitation, housing advocacy, and an inside look at the work of local nonprofits.
While we are incredibly proud of the impact this program has had, we regret to share that we were not awarded funding to continue the program for a third year. As a result, the team will be concluding its work this season. We are deeply grateful to our Ambassadors, community partners, and funders for their dedication and contributions.
We asked our CEAL team members to describe the program in one word. These were their responses.
