The Team IMPACT Fellowship program, launched in 2018, will expand in year six to welcome Fellows from approximately 100 campuses across the United States. This unique opportunity allows individuals already in our program an opportunity to increase their impact.
At Team IMPACT, we believe in providing our student-athletes with the necessary skills to make an impact, not only in the lives of the children and families who participate in our program, but also on their college campuses and in their communities.
These Fellows are selected from a competitive application and interview process. Once selected, the Fellows will be invited to participate in a new Fellow orientation and comprehensive three-day training.
As Fellows, they will represent Team IMPACT on their campuses and collaborate with the athletic department and greater campus community to raise awareness and increase program participation. In return, Team IMPACT will provide opportunities for Fellows to build their skills in leadership, community engagement, public speaking, and professional/career development, preparing them to be leaders in the workforce and beyond.
Candidates should prepare for an enjoyable and transformative experience during their Team IMPACT Fellowship – one that allows Fellows to participate in, and contribute to, real nonprofit work at a rapidly growing organization. By serving as our “boots on the ground,” Fellows will not only help to ensure fidelity to the program model, but also build relationships and awareness.
During the 2022-23 school year, Team IMPACT fellows made a tremendous effort in bringing more awareness to our program:
From awareness games and field days to Halloween Trunk or Treats and holiday parties, our Fellows were busy planning nearly 20 events on and off campus.
The events planned by Fellows help introduce the life-changing work our program does to new people. In 2022, 88,116 people learned about Team IMPACT from Fellow-organized events.
While not a core focus of the program, Fellows are given the opportunity to fundraise for the program. $5,784 dollars were raised by the group in 2022.
Fellows conducted 48 presentations about Team IMPACT to medical providers across the nation to help get more kids in the game.
