WHAT WE DO

We design social impact education programs for individuals and co-create initiatives with various stakeholders.

For Academic Institutions

Together with universities and schools, we design and implement programs to help students of all backgrounds discover their social purpose and drive lasting impact. We have partnered with dozens of schools and universities to offer programs spanning from bootcamps to full degree programs on topics such as social entrepreneurship, technology for good, design thinking, and purposeful leadership.

For Organizations

We partner with organizations and companies to achieve impact-focused objectives for their philanthropy and corporate social responsibility (CSR) programs. This ranges from organizing social and environmentally themed global competitions and accelerator programs to providing impact investment advisory and capacity building support to startups.

For Changemakers

Our core mission is empowering young change-makers through a “learning by doing” approach. Our programs convene like-minded aspiring social innovators from around the world to learn from and support each other, while collectively making real impact through projects, funding, and local engagement.

WHY CHOOSE US

World-Class Education​

Real Impact​

PIM’s “learning by doing” approach offers participants exposure to social innovation processes, while providing incubation and seed funding for young people to develop or support impact projects. We are also committed to supporting our community partners and the broader ecosystem with funding and pro-bono support.

Diverse Global Network

Our unique community contains individuals from diverse backgrounds, nationalities and career paths, but united by a shared interest in social innovation and impact.

Linking China And World

We believe in linking China and the world, through meaningful exchanges centered around social responsibility and the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
