The Program
The Youth Impact Program (YIP) is a four week, free of charge academic mentoring camp to benefit the at-risk youth of cities across the nation. The result of individual partnerships with Tulane University, Syracuse University, Stanford University, the University of Houston, and the National Football League (NFL), YIP is implemented to focus on helping educate urban-based middle school students and provide them with an authentic NCAA student athlete experience.
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, mentoring, 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 each morning and bus over to the Youth Impact Program camp at the local university.
While at camp, students will attend academic sessions in the morning and early afternoon, with football sessions taking 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 activities.
Below is a sample of the daily schedule at one of the YIP programs:
