THE IMPACT EFFECT
The IMPACT Effect® is like nothing else in any community. We are one of only a few programs that reach
youth/young adults using innovative mentor supported training, hands-on activities in digital media/technology,
and old fashioned nurturing to meet 21st century standards and benchmarks. There is a successful effort to
restore a moral foundation to transform a generation. This is our foundation and is a gateway for opportunities
in college, job preparation, social/emotional healing, and productive societal engagement. Our staff and board
of directors’’ genuine dedication to the mission surpasses funding and programming obstacles.
IMPACT involves nearly 1,000 youth in programs, in-school workshops, and community events annually.
●Including adults, we reach and connect to over 1,500 annually.
Past apprentices and interns have done the following after participating in our programs:
●65% attended 2 or 4 year college
●23% completed trade school
●10% created their own businesses
●92% secured jobs
All participants report changes in opinions regarding the involvement of violence and crime in their lives.
