About Us

Young Impact (YI) is a dynamic program design and development firm.  We partner with progressive colleges, organizations, and businesses--public and private--to transform Generation X and Y leadership potential.

Launched in 2002 with seed funding from Ashoka’s Youth Venture, the YI network is comprised of a growing global consortium of emerging and established social and business leaders. Led by Founder and Chief Impact Officer, Stephen Douglass, YI has delivered in-house program development, keynotes, workshops, and strategic consulting services.

Our flagship event, the StartUp Scramble™, is a break-through venture development program. StartUp Scramble participants align personal and professional missions to take ownership of social and business challenges.  Over this day or weekend-long experience, attendees develop new knowledge, explore and apply underutilized faculties, and build critical leadership capacities. 

Our electronic home is at www.YoungImpact.com and you can follow our insights and adventures in real-time on Twitter @YoungImpact!
