University Impact
We train students to be social impact leaders, while funding top impact organizations.
To solve global challenges, young people need to be
empowered to create lasting impact. University Impact was created to do just that. Since 2017, we have introduced over 700 students to social impact, trained over 200 in hands-on bootcamps, and placed over 100 in paid internships with leading social impact organizations. Our train-and-place model provides students with a unique opportunity to learn and practice critical skills while engaging with impact leaders and like-minded peers.
