Some peaks are much higher than others.

Impact works the same way: a few ways of doing good rise far above everything else. There are several such summits, and no single right one to climb. PEAKS is an office for people who search for the highest peaks they can reach, and then set out to climb them. People who stay open to changing paths as their map and the terrain shift, and who would rather climb together than alone.
