Impact Academy
A Campus Tulsa program conceived as the ultimate 9-week, paid, internship experience, Impact Academy sets you on a mission to make a big difference for yourself and Tulsa by working in teams to find and solve worthwhile problems in the Tulsa community.
The Interns. Impact Academy Interns are future city, state, and world leaders. This internship program is for students finishing their first or second year at a community college or four-year university. They are smart, hard-working, intellectually curious, driven, motivated, and they have a passion for improving their community.
The Projects. Impact Academy projects are sourced from our extensive network of nonprofits, social entrepreneurs, and community leaders. Each project is different and unique, but all are big and exciting with the ability to have a real and lasting impact in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Each team utilized their newly developed design thinking skills to pilot their solutions and implement their ideas. The Internship culminates at Final Presentations where teams present their findings and recommendations to 125+ stakeholders and community leaders.
The Professional Development. Impact Academy Fellows develop powerful leadership, executive communication, critical thinking, and problem-solving skills. Our uniquely curated curriculum utilizes problem-solving frameworks from the world's top consulting firms and innovative startup methodologies including human-centered design and an emphasis on early-stage customer discovery. Throughout the project, interns also expand their network through exposure to Oklahoma’s top business and social impact leaders.
