Learn and apply real-world skills, like networking and research. Even more, gain in-depth knowledge about your problem, from climate change to the refugee crisis.
Our expert coaches have a demonstrated passion and experience in the social good sector. They're Peace Corps alums, tech CEOs, and PhD candidates - to name a few.

Learn more about program cost and time committment
The program cost is $150. However, we ensure cost is never a barrier to enter the program. If this places a financial burden on your family, please see below on how to attain a need-based scholarship.
Yes, we offer need-based scholarships. To apply for a scholarship, follow the instructions in the application.
Time committment averages from 1 - 3 hours a week, depending on your problem. Time committment is one main facet we discuss in the interview because different problems require different kinds of committments. For example, one problem might require just an hour a week for 3 months, but much more time in the weeks leading up to an event. Another problem might require a solid 2 hours consistently for the whole problem.
We charge a program fee for the Student Impact Program for a few reasons. First, we have found that it ensures our students are more committed. Without a program cost, students would sign up with the best intentions, but not stay committed. Because we are solving real problems for nonprofits working on the ground with those in-need, it is extremely important that students fulfill their committment of staying in the program. Second, charging a program fee is what actually enables us to run the program. See exactly how we use the funds below.
Your donation goes straight back into amaxa to enable us to keep running - and growing - the Student Impact Program. Right now, 45% of the program cost covers the administration, operations, and software development that allows us to run the program. The other 55% of the program cost goes to growing the Impact Program. These activities include: recruiting expert mentors, providing more opportunities for students like conferences, scholarships, college credit, and travel opportunities, and ensuring all students unable to pay the program fee receive scholarships.
Our mentors are undergraduates from reputable universities. They submit an application and go through an intensive interview process.
