Catapult Youth Leadership

To show young people how they can be forces for change and support the development of strong communities, the Great Valley Center offers CATAPULT, a program designed to support and encourage Central Valley youth as future leaders. CATAPULT was started with a grant from The James Irvine Foundation.

The Gridley Recreation Department started the Catapult program in 2007 as program that could benefit the community by taking at risk youth and teaching them how to become a leader, to make positive changes in the community.
