Applications for the Summer 2024 Impact Academy Internship close TBD

Over 9 weeks, a diverse group of talented young college students from across Tulsa work on high-impact social innovation projects for the community, while developing the leadership and problem-solving skills to accelerate their careers. 

• The Interns. Impact Academy Interns are future city, state, and world leaders. They are smart, hard-working, intellectually curious, driven, motivated, and they have a passion for improving their community. 

• The Projects. Mine projects are sourced from our extensive network of nonprofits, social entrepreneurs, and community leaders. Each project is different and unique, but all are big and exciting with the ability to have a real and lasting impact on Tulsa. Each team of five receives $10,000 to benchmark best practices, pilot their solutions, and implement their ideas. The Fellowship culminates at Final Presentations where teams present their findings and recommendations to 125+ stakeholders and community leaders.

• The Professional Development. Mine Fellows develop powerful leadership, executive communication, critical thinking, and problem-solving skills. Our uniquely curated curriculum utilizes problem-solving frameworks from the world's top consulting firms and innovative startup methodologies including human centered design and an emphasis on early stage customer discovery. Throughout the project, Mine Fellows also expand their network through exposure to Oklahoma’s top business and social impact leaders.
