Helping youth discover their potential and become empowered to make a difference.
Catapult offers a world-class program to youth with natural leadership qualities but barriers to opportunities.
Our vision is to inspire, inform and empower Nova Scotian students so they have the confidence to reach their potential.
Encouraging a balanced life of academics, extra-curricular activities and volunteerism.
We prepare youth for life. Students gain valuable leadership lessons and skills to help them develop the confidence and resources to create a successful life for themselves while building stronger communities.
We are uniquely Nova Scotian.
We are a registered charity fully funded by corporate sponsorships. Registration, accommodation, meals and even transportation are provided at no cost to the student or school. Our students are nominated by teachers and 50 are selected from across the province. Selection is based on leadership potential and strong character despite life circumstances that could jeopardize their talents.
“Catapult changed my life. It was the first time in my life where I was truly myself.”
