Serving With Urban Impact
Urban Impact is a nonprofit organization that is mainly run by volunteers. We serve over 100 students on a weekly basis, so it takes a village to provide them with the best care possible. Our team would love for you to join us in mentorship, providing academic assistance, and being a helping hand that our students can rely on! Please email info@urbanimpactct.org with any questions about joining our team! We can’t wait to welcome you to our community!

Upcoming Volunteer Opportunities!
Summer Mentoring!
Join us for fun and games at Summer Enrichment! Every summer, for two days each week, we bring students and mentors together for educational sessions, recreational activities, and a meal! This year our theme is GAME CHANGERS! Every day we will tackle a new game as we work to cultivate teamwork and strategy!

YOU can make an impact one meal at a time! Whether it be homemade lasagna, breakfast for dinner, or an order of cheese pizzas, our students love and appreciate every bite. Please email tanja@urbanimpactct.org or click the button below to sign up to donate a meal!
