Impact Repertory Theatre Community Service Programs IMPACT believes the first step of true leadership is service. Every year, our members visit nursing homes, participate in block clean ups and organize food drives to assist in the health of their community.
As a community, Harlem is known for its rich culture. From artists such as Langston Hughes to Ruby Dee and the legendary Malcom X, it has boasted a citizenry that has made great contributions to American culture. This multi-faceted community has also had its fair share of violence, poverty and crime. In this video, IMPACT co-founders Jamal Joseph and Voza Rivers explain why IMPACT Repertory Theatre is, at its core, a sanctuary for the many kids who have entered its walls, providing a safe space where they can explore their full potential without fear of stigma, ridicule or recrimination. Born from an incident of violence,IMPACT strives always to promote a positive paradigm: PEACE.
"KEEP A POSITIVE THOUGHT because a positive thought CANNOT BE DENIED."

Anthony McKenzie thought he wasn't going to graduate but he turned to the arts and through Impact he found his calling and his philosophy in life. He is now a proud student attending SUNY Canton. 
I took all the values that I have received from Impact and apply them to succeeding in school. There was a time where he felt like giving up but learnt to "keep a positive thought because a positive thought cannot be denied." This is Impact's philosophy.
Yvette Brodrick -I joined Impact Repertory Theater at the age of 9. Impact was my escape from my everyday life
and
I allowed Impact to help push me to tough time in my life including the lost of my mother. I graduated from College Park with a BS in Community Health. I am currently attending the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health pursing my Master's of Health Science with a concentration in Cancer Epidemiology.
My mother was born and raised in the Dominican Republic so I really didn't have the same structure as other children. My life as a child was very strict and when joining Impact I finally found a place where I could express myself freely. In High school I had trouble with my academics. 
Impact not only encouraged me in my craft of singing but also pushed me to become a better student with the leadership training workshops that were also given each Saturday. Today I am a student at St Johns University and currently doing a semester program abroad. I studied in Paris, France, Seville, Spain, and now I'm in Rome, Italy. .
My Impact experiences followed me as I worked for the Center for Community Action and Research (following the idea of service in our credo) and was an active member of WPAW, the radio station, among other things. As a recent grad of Pace University,
I am currently in Bogotá, Colombia on a J. William Fulbright U.S. Student grant (or for short you can put, Fulbright grantee) as an English Teaching Assistant for Universidad Militay Nueva Granada. I am halfway through my grant, and will be returning to the States in June
