Impact 8 provides:
- Skills development
- Advisory services
- Mentorship

- Peer learning
- Opportunities to pitch to impact investors
The eight-week program is intensive yet flexible, consisting of two days of on-site workshops bi-weekly, select guests speaker and networking events, online programming and one-to-one meetings with mentors and expert advisors.
