GETTING INVOLVED
City Impact Volunteer Network: It’s a critical resource in the effort to redirect and serve at-risk children, youth and their family members. Dedicated volunteers serve as mentors, coaches, office helpers, drivers, educational aides, group facilitators, devotional leaders, chaplains and special event workers.

MENTORS MAKE A DIFFERENCE
At one time or another, every child needs a caring adult – other than a parent – to love, listen, support, teach and encourage. City Impact has those kids – you can be that mentoring adult!
Youth Impact outreach programs address problems of youth gangs, drugs and alcohol, truancy and delinquent behavior. With the help of mentors, youth improve their family dynamics, academics and personal lives so that they can discover their self-worth, talents, dreams and spirituality. |
