Urban Youth Impact Information

Urban Youth Impact (UYI) exists to love, equip and empower inner-city youth and to fulfill their God-given purpose. Founded in 1997, UYI serves the Tamarind Avenue corridor and surrounding area in West Palm Beach, Riviera Beach and Boynton Beach. The areas served have all been identified by Children’s Services Council as the areas with the most at-risk children based on numerous indicators such as poverty levels, school readiness, graduation rates, teen birth rates, and percent of children on free/reduced lunch among others. Through its core programs, UYI serves nearly 230 youth weekly with educational enrichment and job-readiness training while building lasting relationships. An additional 270 youth are impacted weekly through our collaborations with community partners.
