About the Founder
Anise Hayes, co-founder and Executive Director launched Atlantic Impact in 2012 after several years of working in global affairs and youth development. Her motivation was to design experiences that span neighborhood boundaries, deepen students’ networks, and spark educational curiosity. They believe that experimental learning is a transformative means of igniting a student’s academic, economic, and professional mobility.
Why the Historic North End?
The Historic North End was the ideal spot for our training school and centrally located to the participants that we serve. Erica Hicks, the community engagement associate at Atlantic Impact, says âWhat I like the most about running business in the Historic North End is there are small to medium businesses, affluently talented artists, churches of different denominations, community engagement group opportunities in the area and local urban eats.â
