Audience Demographics
The PTK Catalyst audience includes community college honor students (PTK members), college faculty and staff (volunteer advisors), and college presidents and administrators.
Many of our members are first-generation college students, single parents, and returning students. They are masters at balancing work, family, and job responsibilities. For many, community college is their second chance, and receiving a PTK membership invitation is often the first time they have been told they are smart. Achieving their goals means a better future not just for them but their families and communities.
