Impact Youth

The Impact Youth Program empowers youth and families by building the knowledge, skills, and positive attitudes needed to make healthy choices. Through community education, resources, and evidence-based curricula—Positive Action, and the Strengthening Families Program—we prevent substance misuse and equip students with essential life skills for personal, emotional, and academic success.

Serving 8 counties across the Permian Basin.
