Applications for undergraduate designers are due 2/2/23 at 11:59 pm. We usually announce recruitment officially on our Instagram (@cornellhack4impact) at the start of each semester as well. Please email cornell@hack4impact.org if you would like to be added to our listserv where we notify applicants of opening.

The main thing we look for is passion for social impact and interest in growing on the team. Tell us what you are passionate about and why! We also look for prospective members to be proactive, collaborative, and friendly because building a community is an important part of our team culture. Additionally, although technical experience is helpful, we mostly look for the ability to problem solve independently and with others. We also have a beginners project meant for those with no web development experience.

This is hard to say - we don't have a set amount. We recruit a different amount each semester depending on our projects, which range from 4-6 developers, 2 designers, and one PM and TL.

Yes, starting Fall 2022!

As part of a new member on a project team, you will be required to enroll in ENGRG 1400 (new member onboarding) for 1 credit S/U and ENGRG 3400 for 1-2 credits graded or S/U.

Hack4Impact was founded as a club at UPenn in 2014. Since then, the club has grown into a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, helping colleges start chapters all around the country! The Cornell chapter was established Spring 2018.

YES! Please re-apply. Many of our members did not get in the first time, and we strongly encourage you to submit another application!
