Impact Playground

Model & Strategy.

Descriptor.

Impact Playground aims to develop personalized and comprehensive social-justice education that empowers and equips youth to pursue diverse pathways to social impact.

Problem.

For young people, the pathways to pursue social impact are largely daunting, inaccessible and excruciating. Despite decades of work, an ecosystem of numerous organizations and a plethora of mentorship programs — young advocates are still struggling to find spaces built on a foundation of safety, inclusion, belonging, and equity. More importantly, even in the presence of mentorship programs and certifications to reduce barriers to entry, young advocates are still faced with a major scarcity of long-term, diverse and reliable impact-ecosystems as well as collaborative pathways to build collective power.

Solution.

Through Impact Playground, youth advocates can build and engage with personalized social-justice education that allows space to experiment, explore, fail, and flourish on your own terms. We want to support diverse pathways to advocacy by building a comprehensive impact-infrastructure - that includes access to mentorship, sponsorship through social-impact orgs, resources to build solutions, and skills to pursue careers.
