Message from The Executive Director

Greetings and Praises!

We extend the Joy to our IMPACT family and community as we stand on the faith that HIS word does not return to HIM void. Armed with this confidence, we at Project IMPACT - Tryed Stone, Inc. have been observing the awesome manifestation of laboring in "the IMPACT way." Project IMPACT - Tryed Stone, Inc. opened it's doors in January of 1995 armed with the strength of these effective and productive five basic core services. Our youth have responded positively to the encouragement and the life changing direction that these services provide. Although we are small in numbers, we have been identified by many and varied referral sources that range from the court/school systems, to community agencies/word of mouth; that we provide a product of Excellence. Our continuing efforts in seeking external funding has been sustained by the solid, faithful and consistent financial and spiritual support provided by the Tryed Stone Missionary Baptist Church for these past five years. Tryed Stone Missionary Baptist Church remains faithful to the youth and families of this community by demonstrating their courageous and visionary commitment to Project IMPACT Tryed Stone, Inc.

Also, in maintaining the success of our beginning operational stages, we collaborate with various social service agencies, our community council, our faith based organizations and local city government. We again look forward to this year's annual participation in the City of Cincinnati's Ujima: Cinci- bration and the Urban League of Greater Cincinnati's "Youth Celebratory Event."

We welcome and support all those who are in THE service and committed to the goal of uplifting our youth and their families. We are honored to be a part of the IMPACT Family. We invite you to visit and join us in our efforts to continue the message of "We stopped making excuses and started making it work" by remaining "A Nation In Partnership With It's Youth" to excel!

In Service,

Kevin Rainey
Executive Director Project IMPACT - Tryed Stone, Inc.
