New-Generation Leaders Using Business for Social Impact


Welcome to the George Washington University chapter of Net Impact!

Net Impact’s mission is to improve the world by growing and strengthening a network of new leaders who are using the power of business to make a positive net social, environmental, and economic impact.  With over 120 chapters across the world, a central office in San Francisco, and partnerships with leading for and nonprofit organizations, Net Impact enables members to use business for social good in their graduate education, careers, and communities.

We believe that business can both earn a profit and create positive social change. Net Impact enables us to transform this ideal into measurable results.

Graduate students from all on-campus departments are welcomed and encouraged to join our mission. Please browse our site and do not hesitate to contact us to learn more about the group.
