Columbus Impact Academy Participant Application for Class of 2025
The COLUMBUS IMPACT ACADEMY is a six-month community leadership initiative facilitated by the Columbus Young Professionals (CYP) Club that provides an immersive and unique experience for emerging professionals and high-potential associates across central Ohio. You'll work among a cohort of outstanding young leaders from September 2024 - February 2025 to discover a greater sense of place and purpose, while gaining valuable perspective in life-altering areas and developing relationships with successful community leaders from storytellers to local achievers.
The Impact Academy offers more than 30 hours of structured leadership sessions, team-bonding opportunities, and experiential "field trips" to get to know Columbus for area young professionals—with fewer than 10 total hours during the typical workday—over the course of six months. All participants will receive a copy of CliftonStrengths (hard cover book and online talent assessment) plus a Columbus Impact Academy journal and 12 months of Premium Membership access in the CYP Club (an added value of $95).
Most Impact Academy sessions are on Wednesdays from 6-8pm, with some on Friday afternoons (12-2pm or 1-3pm) or weekends for field trips. VIEW THE CLASS OF 2025 CURRICULUM
Our incoming class will also benefit from the involvement of our Impact & Inclusion Advisory Board and CYP Club Leadership Council to help build and develop collaborative community engagement. Tuition is $750 per person for the six-month, 12 session program.
