IMPACT Conference

The IMPACT Conference is historically the largest gathering in the country of socially-engaged college students who come together across issue, perspective, and approach to social change. Building on the rich 25-year tradition of the COOL Conference and the Idealist Campus Conference, IMPACT is the one time during the year when students, campus staff, year of service members, and nonprofit professionals gather together to share resources and exchange stories. Through workshops, networking events and keynote speakers, participants gain the skills and knowledge to create and implement programs in their own communities.
