The Program
The Youth Impact Program is a partnership with Tulane University, Syracuse University and the National Football League (NFL), implemented to focus on helping educate urban-based middle school students.
The program is designed to help with issues that face middle school students in inner-city public schools through academic support, guidance counseling, character development, and social interaction activities. The program provides academics, mentorship, character development and nutrition for the middle school students. Students will also go through extensive football training, taught by leading NCAA and NFL coaches.
The students will meet at their respective school sites between 7:30am - 7:45am, and bus over to the Youth Impact Program every morning.
While at camp, students will attend academic sessions in the morning and early afternoon, and football sessions will take place in the afternoon. Monday - Thursday will consist of this regular schedule, while Fridays will be open for workshops, guest speakers, field trips, and other fun activities.
Below is a sample of the daily schedule at one of the YIP programs:
