Impact Now is a two-week social entrepreneurship program for Randolph County high school students.  They study marketing, public speaking, negotiations, financial literacy, as well as teamwork as they work in groups to create proposals that present ways they would like to make an impact in their community.  The teams present their final proposals to a panel of community leaders, and then that panel selects one they feel was the most effective at tackling its mission.  The selected team members each win $1,000, and their proposal is executed in real life over the course of the following academic with a budget of $15,000.

​

The next session will be in July 2026.
