The GU Impacts Fellowship
Make an Impact.
The Beeck Center's signature student engagement program, GU Impacts, provides Georgetown University students experiential learning opportunities in the social sector within the U.S. and around the world.
Partners matter.
Our diverse set of partners have an overarching mission to create social impact at the community level. Over the summer students will be working in teams with local organizations, advancing their efforts towards sustainable change.
Our partners are non-profits, NGOs, and corporate organizations, showing students how positive social impact can be achieved in any sector. Having diverse projects ensures any student can get involved: topics vary by location and include community engagement, disability advocacy, economic advancement, eco-tourism, education, entrepreneurship, women's empowerment, and more.
In your application, you will be able to select every partner you're interested in, as well as rank your top three preferences. Keep in mind that while you will rank preferences in the application, the Beeck staff will ultimately determine your placement based on your interests, availability, and the requests and needs of the community.
