IMPACT programs & initiatives
Due to COVID-19 restrictions IMPACT went virtual in Spring 2020 - maintaining its innovative youth performing arts program, spoken word, musical theater, dance, poetry, and songwriting - online.
In January 2021 IMPACT launched the first YOUTH TOWN HALL, which will be followed by a sequel in March 2021. As Spring 2021 approaches IMPACT looks forward to more physical distanced gatherings and outdoor activities for our members.

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.
