Stories of young founders building real change
The Impact Encyclopedia is a publication of long-form interviews with teenagers who started something real — a charity, a seat at the council table, a garden on a vacant lot — and the unglamorous work of keeping it alive. Two new stories every week.

Why this exists
Because young founders get one paragraph in a newsletter and then disappear. The interviews are longer than that: how the idea actually started, what failed first, who helped, and what it costs to keep going. Written down properly, so another fifteen-year-old can read it and begin.
