A PASSION FOR PROMOTING INCLUSION AND ACCESS
The IMPACT Access Foundation is a workforce and professional development program designed to provide real solutions to the diversity gap in the Sports, Entertainment & Media industries.

Through scholarships, the IMPACT Access Foundation connects students with hands-on professional training, industry-specialized education, executive mentorship, and access to future career opportunities through our alumni network. IMPACT Learning Institute's professional development program starts with tackling the initial barrier of access many students face, but the key to the IMPACT Access Foundation is the wraparound support and ongoing coaching students receive once they are connected to their new network of professional opportunities.
