Big Purpose Statement

At MetroPrep, education doesn’t end with knowledge, it begins with action.

The Impact Program empowers students to explore real-world issues, discover their voice, and lead meaningful change. By combining creativity, collaboration, and social responsibility, Impact transforms classroom learning into action that makes a difference.

What the Impact Program Is

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

Identify a social issue or community need.

Design

Develop creative, sustainable solutions.

Action

Launch campaigns, products, or fundraisers.

Impact

Share outcomes through school and community showcases.

This hands-on process helps students build confidence, empathy, and leadership, skills that prepare students for success far beyond high school.

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.
