Are YOU Ready to Make an IMPACT?
IMPACT is an innovative and exciting leadership program, grounded in the Social Change Model of leadership development (SCM). Within the Social Change Model, leadership development is values-based, socially responsible, collaborative, and oriented toward positive social change. Feel free to check out our frequently asked questions page, and be sure to also read some program testimonials from past IMPACT students!
Is IMPACT for Me?
IMPACT is a leadership program open to all students at Trent University.
IMPACT is for students who wish to engage in self-exploration and personal development, learn to work collaboratively with others, and develop a sense of citizenship through community engagement.

How Does IMPACT Work?
In light of Covid-19 restrictions, we're trying a new format for the IMPACT program this year. Students in the winter term cohort will attend six virtual workshops, with sharing triads and a social justice presentation in between to enhance learning.
See a list of the winter 2021 workshops and retreats here.
Upon completion of the program, students will be issued a Certificate of Completion, and will be supported in articulating transferrable skills and experience into a job application. Still have questions?
