Net Impact is welcoming over 50 fellows this year whose projects will focus on health, racial equity, criminal justice, and impact design. The fellows will convene in Philadelphia at the annual conference then return to their campuses to implement their projects and lead their campus chapters of Net Impact. Net Impact fellows serve as ambassadors for the organization's mission of mobilizing students and professionals to use their skills and careers to drive positive social and environmental change.

1. This year, Net Impact is thrilled to be welcoming over 50 fellows. Their projects will focus on
Healthy Food, Racial Equity, Criminal Justice, and of course, Impact Design. Coming from
across the USA and the world, they will convene in Philadelphia then bring the impact back to
their respective campuses. Net Impact fellows are embassadors of our mission and leaders on
their campuses.
About Net Impact
Net Impact mobilizes the next generations to use their skills and careers to
make a positive impact on the world.
Net Impact is a global community of students and professionals who aspire
to be effective drivers of social and environmental change. Our programs—
delivered from our headquarters, as well as globally through our student
and professional chapters—give our members the skills, experiences and
connections that will allow them to have the greatest impact now and
throughout their careers. Over 100,000 strong, we take on social challenges,
protect the environment, invent new products and orient business toward the
greater good.
In short, we help our members turn their passions into a lifetime of world-
changing action.

Everything kicks off with the Net Impact conference. It’s
a time for you to meet your cohort, get inspired, and start
thinking about your project - and have fun!
In the month after the conference (by Dec 7th) you’ll
define your project by filling out a worksheet and you’ll
lay the foundation for a chapter by finding an advisor and
students to join you in your project.
You’ll hit the ground running after your winter break,
officially launching your chapter and getting project
participants aligned and energized for the spring.
From January to early April, you’ll execute your project
and join cohort calls.
In April, you’ll share your fellowship story through Annual
Chapter Reporting and think about how your chapter and
project might live on beyond you through leadership
transitions.
