Welcome to the new Individual Impact Plan website! While the purpose of the Individual Impact Plans remains the same, this online format allows you to better share your story and impact goals, seek help and inspiration from our community and each other, and update, edit, and adapt this plan in real time. You will still be held accountable to update your plan, at a minimum, twice a year before the Bi-Annual Scholar Reflections, due January 20th and June 20th.
**Important**
A new addition to the Individual Impact Plan component is that you can OPT IN to have your Individual Impact Plan posted on our website each semester. As these plans represent your real-life goals for impact, we want to put them in front of our community and allow them to offer help to the plans that resonate with them the most. This gives you more ‘skin in the game’ and could result in powerful partnerships and resources for you to leverage. No one can accomplish big, audacious, and lasting change alone. Use your Individual Impact Plan as an opportunity to recruit our community and yours to help you accomplish your plans for positive change!
The Opportunity
The Opportunity
Defining your goals and outlining the steps needed to reach them helps you put dreams into action. Receiving feedback on your plans for impact from Greenhouse Scholars staff, your mentor, professional networking contacts, and within your own network will allow you to explore ways to improve and sharpen your plans. Connecting your authentic self, passions, and personal story with your Individual Impact Plan will make your actions more effective and genuine to the legacy you want to leave behind. This is part of what makes Greenhouse Scholars active leaders in this program, in your communities, and potentially, worldwide. We hope that you seize this opportunity to leverage our network to help build the world you want.
This website serves as a roadmap to help you:
Connect your story, passions, and skills to your goals for impact.
Identify the communities you plan to target, both directly and indirectly.
List the actionable steps you need to take now and in the future to accomplish your goals.
Discover the barriers in the way of your success and the resources at your disposal to overcome them.
Build a ‘big tent’ of diverse individuals who will help you along the way to accomplish lasting positive change.
Accountability
Accountability
Each semester, you are expected to solicit feedback and perspectives from the Greenhouse Scholars community of mentors and professional contacts to help you refine your Individual Impact Plan. Your plan should be constantly evolving and updated year-round, but it will be checked for updates in the Mid-Year and End-of-Year Scholar Reflections, due January 20th and June 20th. Thoughtfully developed plans will have the option to be displayed publicly on the Greenhouse Scholars website for our greater community to see! We hope this creates an opportunity for some Individual Impact Plans to receive help and resources from our community.
