In this episode of The Impact Connection, we sit down with MyiShanka “Mya” McMillian, Founder and Executive Director of the nonprofit Purpose Learning Lab, to hear how her vision to expand access to learning and opportunity led to the creation of a nonprofit that empowers young people through education, wellness, mentorship, and hands-on learning.

Purpose Learning Lab is committed to pouring into the Durham, North Carolina, community through after-school enrichment, summer programming, hands-on STEAM learning, tutoring, vocational training, and mentorship that help young people build confidence, explore their interests, and discover new possibilities for their futures.

Impact 4 Good is proud to support Purpose Learning Lab and its work through corporate give back experiences like Go Green Racing. During the experience, corporate teams work together to pack solar car kits and write handwritten messages of encouragement, giving young people the opportunity to explore STEM concepts through hands-on learning.
