Impact Measurement

Social Impact Measurement Training Program Pilot

New opportunity for Memorial Students in 2026!

Are you interested in social impact, data collection, research, or evaluation?

This winter, the Centre for Social Enterprise at Memorial University is launching a pilot training program in social impact measurement, and we’re inviting students from across Memorial's campuses, faculties and disciplines to participate!

Presented in partnership with Business & Arts NL, you’ll join a cohort of students and arts organizations from across Newfoundland and Labrador to learn how organizations can measure, communicate, and strengthen their social impact. The program is grounded in Business & Arts NL’s Dimensions of Impact Framework and is designed to be practical, accessible, and directly connected to real-world application.

The deadline to apply is Monday, January 19th at 9 a.m.
