About

Impact America activates colleges students and recent college graduates to address consequences of poverty through health, economic, and education-based initiatives – creating lasting impact in local communities.

Impact America conducts 3 major initiatives:

SaveFirst - provide free tax preparation for low- to moderate-income families across Alabama; and

SpeakFirst - provide Birmingham city high school students with the opportunity to engage in co-curricular competitive debate.

OUR MISSION: Impact America activates recent college graduates to address consequences of poverty through health, economic, and education-based initiatives – creating lasting impact in local communities.

OUR VISION: American communities with real possibilities…where all citizens engage in action for positive change and take responsibility for safeguarding the health, well-being and worth of every individual.

We believe:

...in possibilities.

…in the potential of all communities to thrive.

…in opportunities to collaborate and work in partnership to address poverty and social and economic injustice.

…in investing in the next generation through meaningful community engagement with opportunities for personal growth and development of leadership potential.

…that community should be broadly defined and totally inclusive.

…that poverty is multi-faceted and requires multi-faceted interventions and solutions.

…that empathy and compassion result from and strengthen active citizenship.

…that spending an "Impact Year" or more leads AmeriCorps members to a lifetime of service and active citizenship.
