Hear from people
who've done it

"The Propel Impact Analyst program was a game changer for me. It transformed the vague idea I had of working in social impact into a more clear, actionable plan. I left the program with a more solid understanding of the steps to take after graduation to enter the field more formally."
- Alana Alvarez (2024 Analyst @ Common Approach to Impact Measurement)
"The Propel Impact Analyst program has introduced me to new possibilities. Before, I struggled to see how I could do socially impactful work and bridge the gap between community organizing and the corporate world. Now, I've learned there's so much more out there and a community of people equally dedicated to social impact and purpose."
- Tracy Dusabimana (2024 Analyst @ Momentus Global)
“The Propel Impact Analyst Program has been an incredibly valuable experience for me. It gave me the opportunity to do meaningful work on issues that I deeply care about. I'm grateful to have met so many inspiring and passionate people throughout the summer. I feel a true sense of belonging in this supportive, wonderful community.”
- Ethan Shi (2022 Analyst @ Fair Finance Fund)

FAQ

Can I apply if I haven’t participated in one of Propel Impact’s programs?
Yes, we will consider applications from external candidates (students who have not yet taken part in any Propel Impact programs to date). We will prioritize applicants who have been trained through Propel's programs.
How does the application process work, given that there are so many different organizations/roles to choose from?
Applicants will complete one online form that includes a standard set of written questions and a case study. The Propel Impact team will shortlist applicants and invite you to submit recorded responses to video interview questions. You will have the opportunity to rank your preferences of job descriptions in early July. You will then be contacted by the partner organizations that would like to conduct a real-time, virtual or in-person interview with you. You may be invited to interviews with multiple host organizations. Similarly, you may be required to complete more than one interview per partner organization.
