Start something that's yours.
No club for your idea? Start it. We back one founder per category at your school with merch and a budget, so you can lead the thing, not fundraise for it.

your school is missing.
X Impact backs high schoolers with merch and a starter budget to launch the club they wish existed. Free to start, you just bring the idea.
Why X Impact?
Every school has students with big ideas, and not enough ways to make them real.
X Impact removes the friction: we approve your club, send merch and a starter budget, and back you while you build it.
Your idea. Your club. Funded.
Real clubs, zero overhead.
We handle the funding and the gear. Your school gets vetted, student-led clubs that actually run, one per category, with no duplicate effort.
The basics
Free, fair and founder-led.

Frequently asked questions.
X Impact helps high school students start a club at their school, the extracurricular they wish existed. We approve your idea, then send merch and a starter budget so you can launch it. It's completely free.
Any high school student who wants to start and lead a club. You don't need experience, just an idea and the drive to run it. Bring a teacher or staff advisor if your school requires one.
Nothing. Starting and running your X Impact club is free. We cover the startup costs and send a budget for materials, so money is never the barrier.
A merch drop to make it official, a starter budget to buy what you need, a step-by-step playbook, and a mentor from X Impact to help along the way.
So each founder truly owns their space. We approve a single club per category at each school, no two competing robotics clubs, which keeps things focused and fair.
We read every application. We're looking for a clear reason the club matters to you and your school, and a sense that you'll actually run it. Passion beats polish.
We'll email you when applications open for your school, with the form and everything you need to apply. Joining the waitlist just tells us you're interested.
Pitch it anyway. Pick '& more' on the form and tell us what you want to build, we open new categories every cohort.
