Turning Awareness Into Action
The Impact Program is MetroPrep’s signature initiative in social innovation and leadership — where students move from understanding issues to driving solutions.
Students may join an existing Impact Cause or create a new one of their own, guided by dedicated mentors who help them develop meaningful, measurable projects.
Each student team progresses through the Impact Cycle:
Research
Design
Action
Impact
This hands-on process helps students build confidence, empathy, and leadership, skills that prepare students for success far beyond high school.

Key Learning Outcomes:
- Leadership through empathy and initiative

- Public speaking and presentation skills

From Vision to Visibility
Each year, Impact students share their projects in the MetroPrep Impact Showcase, a powerful event that brings together families, educators, and community partners.
Students present their initiatives, celebrate their results, and inspire others to take action.
The showcase isn’t just a presentation, it’s a celebration of what happens when young people realize they can lead change.
