Social Impact Experiential Education

Currently Launch HOPE Foundation primary location is housed within  Butler University's Lacy School of Business through an in-kind donation of a garage bay workspace.  Each semester typically employ 25-30 undergraduate interns from all four grade levels.  The majority of our interns work with Launch HOPE more than one semester, and for some, their entire 4 years.  Our interns apply their knowledge while working directly with and supporting marginalized communities.  We facilitate powerful 21st century skill development with high impact experiential application.  


Our newly designed Intern Curriculum is launching in Fall 2023 in the areas of:

  • Interpersonal & Soft Skills
  • Business Competencies
  • Essential Technology
  • Social Responsibility & Impact

This includes a robust course catalog of micro-learnings, seminars and certifications that will be both live and on demand powered by our partnership with HubSpot. Our goal is to educate and elevate our next generation of business and community leaders that have extraordinary skills, talent, emotional intelligence and experiences.
