A Letter From the Founder

I founded Impact Community Supports Inc. in 2020 during the height of the pandemic. During this time, I served as High School Principal at 99% Title I Urban School. I had a firsthand account of the significant gap in support for vulnerable children, youth, and families. The lack of trauma-informed decision-making community coalitions, mental health resources, prevention programming, and social-emotional learning education were heavily compounded by the stressors in the pandemic environment. I wanted to address these issues and make meaningful impact.

Collaboration and community involvement are central to our approach. We work directly with local residents, organizations, and institutions to create strong neighborhood coalitions that effectively address the unique needs of our community’s youth. By bringing all stakeholders together, we create a comprehensive support system that makes a lasting impact.

Our goal is to make a positive impact on the lives of the children and youth we serve and foster a brighter future for our community. We are dedicated to our mission and passionate about creating opportunities for at-risk children and youth to thrive. With this grant’s support, we can continue delivering vital services and making a lasting difference in our community.
