The B Academics Summer B Impact Team program is a unique opportunity for students to learn about and contribute to the B Corporation movement. B Corporations, or B Corps, are businesses that meet the highest standards of social and environmental performance, transparency, and accountability. In the Summer B Impact Team Program, we’ll bring together students from around the world to form diverse teams and collaborate on consulting projects with companies focused on driving positive social and environmental impact using the B Impact Assessment as a roadmap.

Student will have the chance to apply your skills and knowledge to real-world challenges, gain practical experience, and make a difference in your community and beyond. Companies will have an opportunity to accelerate their impact journey working with a team talented, passionate students.
