Youth Impact Program
In partnership with the National Football League, USC offers the Youth Impact Program, which serves disadvantaged inner-city boys, aged 9 to 12, by leveraging their interest in football to take them off of the streets and place them in a university setting for four weeks during the summer. Focused on academics, life skills and athletics, the rigorous curriculum helps participants improve their school performance, develop character and build long-term mentoring relationships with established community leaders and teachers.
