About Impak

Impak is an independent, not-for-profit organization that brings qualified and motivated human resource to better Pakistan. Skilled individuals, known as Fellows, are recruited from abroad to work with local private and non-governmental organizations, known as Partners, on short-term projects. Since 2005, Impak has successfully launched programs that have placed Fellows in a variety of sectors while providing group housing, interactive workshops, and intensive retreats for a complete summer experience.

International Voluntary Service Activities

Impak surveys a diverse array of organizations ranging from the social sector (e.g. health, education, human rights) to the private sector (e.g. finance, engineering, management). Among these, Impak selects Partners that can facilitate a high-impact, short-term work experience for a visiting Fellow where both can benefit significantly from the program.

Currently, Impak is recruiting for a summer program in Pakistan with the following organizations:

Concern for Children
Comprehensive Disaster Response Services
Afzaal Memorial Foundation for Thalassemia
Kashf Foundation
Leadership Development for Mobilizing Reproductive Health
Ida Rieu Poor Welfare Association
Ibtida and Indus Resource Center
Indus Earth
The Citizens Foundation

Volunteer Profile Summary

Fellows are selected primarily from the US through a competitive application process. To apply for an Impak Fellowship, candidates must be at least 20 years old and exhibit an interest and developed skills relevant to Partner projects.

Applications are made available online and posted on Impak's website. Applicants are evaluated based on their academic merit, work experience, and ability to perform successfully in a variety of challenging circumstances. Fellows are selected from a systemized recruitment process where Partners have the final say in who works with them.
