Model & Strategy.

Descriptor.

Revolyst (Revolutionary Catalysts) is a creative social impact studio that aims to leverage the power of coalition building and lived experience to support in the development of sustainable social impact strategy, campaigns, and ideas. Our mission is to equip and organize youth and young adult BIPOC change makers to co-create, innovate, and implement the solutions they know work.

Problem.

For decades, youth and young adults have been at the front lines of social change. Today, we are seeing an increase in support systems and infrastructure but a lack of community among change makers. In 2023, the U.S. Surgeon General warned the public of a loneliness epidemic facing our nations youth and young adults. This can be especially challenging for BIPOC youth and young adults fighting for change which not only impacts their mental health but their sense of purpose.

Solution.

Revolyst creates a sense of community for change makers as we recognize feeling a sense of belonging and connectedness is a prerequisite to then creating and sustaining impact work. While simultaneously, creating space to co-create and innovate.
