IIMPACT, NFP, is a heartwarming organization dedicated to the well-being and development of vulnerable young men. Our mission is to provide housing, education, employment and support services that empower Illinois DCFS youth in care, aged 13 to 21. We equip young men with the tools and resources they need to thrive and reach their full potential. We serve as a child welfare agency and a bridge towards permanent independent living.
