Do you have an idea that could change someone’s life, our environment or our future? Are you working on a project or social venture that could benefit from coaching, programming and/or financial support? You could spend a semester (or two!) exploring, testing or scaling up your project or social venture at the Do Good Accelerator.
The Do Good Accelerator Fellows program offers an 8-week program during the fall, spring and summer semesters, designed to support students where they need it most, as they work diligently to increase their impact.
Each week, students will spend time participating in 1:1 coaching sessions, working independently on their projects, and participating in developmental activities and programs that provide insights to valuable tools and resources such as workshops, panel discussions, and other community events that increase project development and impact.
The Accelerator Fellows program is open to all current University of Maryland, College Park students. The ideal student for this program is one who is in the implementation phase (currently impacting the community).
