Team IMPACT connects and matches children facing serious illness and disabilities with college sports teams, creating long-term, life-changing experiences for everyone involved.
As a Fellow, I act as a liaison between Team IMPACT and Princeton Athletics, overseeing its 7 current matches, and making sure each varsity team’s relationship with their matched child is going strong.
Responsibilities also include organizing campus wide events and leading medical outreach efforts to raise awareness and encourage family participation.
Team IMPACT has strengthened my communication skills, allowing me to build meaningful connections and create positive impact.
After expanding Princeton's matched teams from 2 to 7 in 2023-2024, the university was named the D1 Fellowship Campus of the Year.
