Kellogg Net Impact
About us
Net Impact empowers a new generation to drive social and environmental change throughout their careers. Our volunteer-led chapter drives change by creating a like-minded community and providing events and programs that support members who aim to use business as a force for environmental & social impact. Join us!
At Kellogg, we believe in the power of our management education to help us drive social change across sectors. We believe that the most compelling frontier in any discipline, industry, or sector—be it finance or marketing; CPG or consulting; social enterprise, nonprofit, business or government—is where innovators are using the business toolkit to drive social impact. At Kellogg, we educate, inspire, and equip leaders who will drive this change and advance these frontiers.
Programs
The Kellogg Impact Consulting Club - matches teams of Kellogg students with Chicago non-profits and socially-minded entrepreneurs who are looking for assistance in dealing with a specific business problem.

Net Impact Interview Prep Groups - our main program for career support is interview prep groups, similar to Net Impact’s Map program, in which we provide support and guidance to individuals looking for jobs in the social impact space. This includes resume and cover letter review, guidance on company search and selection, and interview prep. This past year we had 11 students take part in IPGs with every student receiving at least one offer in the social impact field.

Kellogg Cares Day provides an easy opportunity for you to give back to the community in and around Evanston and Chicago.

Hult Prize - Kellogg Net Impact hosted the Hult Prize competition for Northwestern in which 10 teams competed (40 students including both graduate and undergraduate students across Northwestern’s campus) in December of 2015. This event hosted provided students the opportunity to “get their hands dirty” to solve a big social problem. For the Hult Prize, we also hosted workshops for students to further improve their pitch giving skills.
