IMPACT is a pre-collegiate entrepreneurship lab experience that will prepare you to start a venture and learn about the transformative impact offered by higher education.
Dates: June 11-16, 2023
Cost: $800 for the full-year program, including the week of camp. Scholarships are available.
What Will IMPACT Entrepreneurship Camp Be Like?
IMPACT will help you develop your God-given leadership abilities, preparing you to transform society for the common good. You’ll have opportunities to engage with a community of like-minded learners and mentors to further grow your abilities as a leader and entrepreneur.
During the week of camp, you’ll be engaged in many different activities focused on problem solving and entrepreneurship, such as:
- Peer-to-peer discussions
- Sessions with world-class speakers
- Personalized leadership coaching with current Taylor students
- Experimental learning outside the classroom
After camp ends, the journey is far from over. As part of IMPACT, you’ll experience:
- A year-old venture acceleration with online classes and regular meetings
- Access to dual-credit Taylor classes
- National entrepreneurship conferences for IMPACT’s top students
By the end of the week on campus, each group should have developed a stable project that offers a solution to their assigned real-world problem. This will lead into a 10-month period of acceleration that will teach you how to transform your idea into a viable venture. At the end of the program, each group should have all the necessary tools, information, and minimum skills to build a successful venture.
Who is IMPACT for?
IMPACT is designed for students who are academically gifted, natural leaders but who perhaps have not been presented with opportunities to engage with a community of like-minded learners and mentors to further grow their abilities as leaders and entrepreneurs.
The Impact of Faith
At IMPACT, we ground our commitment to leadership development in a framework that prizes serving others, caring for the community, and thinking more highly of others than ourselves. This servant-leadership paradigm is fundamental to how we approach the development of entrepreneurs and the kind of ventures they pursue. Through this weeklong, immersive experience, you’ll be exposed to entrepreneurial exemplars, people of faith who embody the values and virtues of servant-leadership who are spiritually grounded and represent the best of the Christian community’s contribution to the common good.
