Impact Labs
Launch your impact venture with StrideOS before the weekend. Then two live days of entrepreneurship and conflict resolution training with the founder of PeaceBuilder Academy and StrideOS to help you earn a living doing good.
On your own time: the full StrideOS journey, idea to launched venture, plus the conflict-resolution and negotiation courses. Free, like everything here. You arrive complete.
Ambassador training: how to launch and run a PeaceBuilder Academy extension in your own country. Learn in the morning, execute in the afternoon.
Operations and craft: negotiation workshop, conflict-resolution deep dive, and a working review of your venture's plan with the founder.

“When I'm stressed, I usually have a thousand thoughts running through my head. The questions helped me focus on one thing at a time. ”
“It felt like having a friend gently reminding me to slow down, talk things through, and work on each problem step by step. ”
Impact Labs costs nothing. In return, we ask every builder who trains with us to carry it forward: as your country's PeaceBuilder Ambassador (one primary and one alternate per country), as a mentor to the next cohort, as an impact entrepreneur, or as a sponsor of another builder's plan. Tell us in your application how you want to pay it forward.
Apply for the next cohort →No. The StrideOS journey you complete before the weekend includes the purpose and idea-screening work, so you arrive with a venture built from a calling rather than a blueprint. You need the pull to build, not the plan.
Nothing. Impact Labs is how PeaceBuilder Academy grows, so the mission funds it rather than the builder. Sponsors cover the StrideOS plans, and you carry the work forward instead of paying for it.
A launched venture, reviewed by the founder, and the training to help other people launch theirs. You also leave as a candidate for your country's Ambassador role. Every deliverable stays in your StrideOS workspace.
The curriculum teaches and StrideOS builds. The weekend is where the founder reviews what you built, sharpens it live, and trains you to carry the work to others.
The Ambassador runs a PeaceBuilder Academy extension in their own country. We appoint one primary and one alternate per country, and the weekend is the training for the role. Say in your application if you want it.
