Impact Lab
Impact-based Learning
Impact Based Learning is a hybrid of action-based, experiential, and service learning, taking these pedagogical concepts one step further to focus on areas delivering sustained social impact.
The model is distinguished from service learning because students are not asked to serve in a one-off capacity, but to work toward sustainable and lasting ends, particularly in the business or entrepreneurial context. For example, whereas service learning typically provides students with a one-off service opportunity that is managed by an external partner, Impact Based Learning directly creates lasting impact through building sustainable social impact companies and projects.
