The Impact Fellowship is a social impact leadership program at UVU where students create awareness on campus and in the community by leading out on educational events, applied research, and community assessment projects.
Impact Fellows receive an in-state, full-tuition scholarship, gain resumé-building experience, and connect with off-campus community leaders. They also receive comprehensive training in social impact principles, methodologies, and frameworks, professional development and one-on-one mentoring.
Impact Fellows applications are now closed. Please check back in March for the next hiring round!
Our Fellows lead out on applied research and design projects with our community partners. They also host events, produce podcast episodes, and publish newsletters that raise awareness about social issues and explore impact strategies.
Social Changed Design Fellows play a key role in supporting our Social Impact Metrics Lab (SIMLab) by partnering with community organizations to conduct comprehensive impact assessment using our Social Change Design framework. Fellows use systems analysis and data-driven measurement techniques to evaluate outcomes, then collaborate on designing effective interventions for data-informed social change.
Impact Pathways Fellows develop skills development workshops, podcast episodes, and speaker events within the Six Pathways of Social Impact. Additionally, they create research-driven newsletters to inform and engage community partners and on-campus community members across each pathway.
Tune into Critical Connections, a podcast by UVU’s Social Impact Fellows and Associates that dives deep into conversations about social change, community impact, and the power of collective action. Critical Connections highlights lived experience and share wisdom through guest interviews and accessible narrative.
