What Our Community is Saying

"Youth Impact was a fun and helpful experience throughout my 8 years of being a participant there. It helped me develop a lot of skills I use in my current day-to-day life, including Socialization, gratitude, generosity, kindness, and most importantly, pursuing my passions. Today, I run my own car club; that is centered around the ideals I took away from Youth Impact. Community service, and changing the outlook on things that don't have a great image, such as the car scene here in Utah. I help run several of my own events for Youth Impact, helping to raise money each year, with each event, to keep this awesome nonprofit program going. Ethan Gerena"

"In the late 90s early 2000s I would go to Youth Impact after school to do homework, work n the arts and crafts, do community activities...I can still remember when Rob Hall took us to go see the new building that we got to move into from the little church house that started it all. From 50 , to 75, to over 120 kids.. I remember how each holiday we got to do fun things... My favorite was Christmas when when Timmie Santa Clause would come, and we would always get things we needed. We would go on trips to see things and play games... I could go on forever. My favorite activities were going with the Special Olympics and helping them with whatever needed to be done. (there's the pic of one year of helping) I would say Youth Impact made me feel safe and kept me busy with all the clubs and activities. My parents never worried about where we were, they would know where to find us. I can say that Rob picked the best logo/theme: A safe place to be a kid. Because at Youth Impact it was for the kids and nothing but the kids."

"YOUTH IMPACT, INC. is such an amazing place and really enables the kids to learn valuable skills and how to be a part of the community in a productive way. I absolutely love what they do there. Those with kids in the Ogden area should check this place out as it is an amazing place. Glad my baby girl can be part of it."
