INTRODUCTION TO UNITY IMPACT WEEK
A National Movement for Learning, Service & Student Empowerment
What is Unity Impact Week?
Unity Impact Week is a week of coordinated school-based programming designed to educate, inspire, and activate young leaders. Aligned with the values of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., the initiative encourages students to explore unity, service, leadership, financial empowerment, mental wellness, and the oneness of humanity.
It is more than a week of events — it is a youth-led movement of responsibility, pride, creativity, and impact.
