Connect with expert mentors and accelerate 360 degree conversations in your community
The world feels more chaotic than ever. While data tells of the most abundant time in human history – extreme conflicts around the world, sharply, and persistently, remind us just how much work there is left to do.
Voices online, and within our own local communities, are divisive, and at times extreme. There are too few safe spaces to speak to others with differing points-of-view about society’s challenges and conflicts. Far too spaces where we can learn from others, instead of confirming our own biases.
At Impact, we believe in the value of 360 degree conversations. Conversations that take all voices into account. All facts.
Conversations that led with empathy, curiosity, and a desire to improve the world around us.
In the U.S., that means pushing past our polarizing partisan political dialogue, and engaging in non-partisan discourse that can at times, be uncomfortable, but necessary, rewarding and invaluable
The goal of the program is designed to supports rising community leaders in their goal of building and/or leading a student group, organization, nonprofit or initiative that facilitates non-partisan and 360-degree conversations on civic and social issues through mentorship and strategic support.
