Mission Statement
The Youth Impact Program (YIP) is an innovative leadership development program and partners with premier universities across the United States. The program is staffed by NCAA student-athletes, university officials, U.S. military and public school teachers that act catalysts to promote positive development in low-income, urban-based, at-risk middle school students between the ages of 10 and 14 years old. The YIP was developed and implemented to target middle school students who are resistant to or uncomfortable in traditional learning environments and designed to help the students overcome challenges faced in inner-city public schools through academic support, guidance counseling, character development, social interaction activities, and nutrition. The YIP curriculum is STEM-based (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) and was designed by college professors at the University of Southern California to use football terminology to make math, reading, and life skills learning more applicable to middle school students.
About This Cause
The YIP program is free of charge to the student and provides a STEM-based Academic curriculum (20 hours), leadership and character development (20 hours), and athletic competition (20 hours) consisting of football, nutrition, and fitness training. YIP also provides clothing, two meals a day, transportation, school supplies, field trips and is held on-site at the university. The students receive mentorship throughout the camp to include character and leadership development from US military professionals, STEM-based academics from university staff and top-notch public-school teachers, and athletic skills taught by leading NCAA student-athletes and coaches that focus on football safety.
