FELLOW TESTIMONIALS
"Being a Fellow has pushed me to grow as a leader, advocate, and teammate in ways I never expected. Through supporting our match, Charlie, and working closely with other Fellows across campus, I’ve learned how powerful connection, vulnerability, and community can be. This role has allowed me to build relationships that go far beyond sport and has taught me what it means to show up for the people around you. Team IMPACT has helped shape me into the teammate and person I am today."
Jade Montgomery
University of Pennsylvania Softball
"My experience as a Team IMPACT Fellow is transforming! Being able to share my sport, which I love and enjoy, with my team’s match is truly incredible! The support system of Team Impact extends out through all of the staff and even the other fellows around the country! Everyone is quick to respond and loving!"
Kaden Edwards
University of Houston Track & Field
"My experience as a Team IMPACT Fellow so far has been nothing short of incredible. Whenever people ask me about the organization and how I am liking it, I just smile and say it is indescribable - indescribable in the way it has impacted me, in the way the organization impacts these children and their families, and in the way it has changed the course of my life. I am so blessed to witness and create lifelong connections with matches and everyone a part of Team IMPACT. Cannot wait to all that the organization accomplishes in the future!"
Ian Goulet
Southern New Hampshire University Soccer
"One thing I’d share to anyone thinking of becoming a Fellow is that it truly is a huge opportunity and a privilege to be a part of making the world a better place. You’re not just filling a role for someone but you’re building real relationships and showing up for someone who looks up to you. We recently got our match for softball, her name is Kairi, and she has already been such a joy to have as part of the team. She’s came out once so far but she’s already shown some great improvement in socializing! Like I told one of my teammates who wants to join, if you’re thinking about becoming a fellow, be open minded, patient, and present. You need to care, the connection you build can leave a big impact on someone else’s life and even yours!"
Jackie Tremper
University of California, San Diego Softball
"Being a Fellow allows you to walk through doors you never knew were an option and make an impact in those rooms. From being best friends with another fellow who lives across the country to bringing a new purpose to your team to being a small part of making a kid smile to gaining unique professional and personal development, being a Fellow goes so far beyond the field."
Brenna Blume
Belmont University Softball
"Being a Team IMPACT Fellow has been one of the most fulfilling parts of my college and athletic career because it lets me give back, stay connected to the sport I love, and make a real, positive impact on someone’s life."
