Pledge to make a difference, together.
The Youth Impact Program (YIP) is an innovative summer program and partners with universities across the United States and their local NFL team. The program is staffed by NCAA student athletes, university officials, and public school teachers that act as a catalyst to promote positive development in low-income, urban-based, at-risk middle school male students, between the ages of 10 and 14 years old.
The YIP was developed and implemented to target middle school male students who are resistant to or uncomfortable in classic learning environments and designed to help with issues that the students face in inner-city public schools through academic support, guidance counseling, character development, and social interaction activities and nutrition.
