| Time we get to know one another!!On
September 11, 1999 we will be having our first of many open forum meetings and
"getting to know you" sessions. The Executive Board and the Staff will be
available to meet, greet and talk to you concerning what we will be doing for the
remainder of the year and beyond. It is our hope that the volunteers who are interested in
reconnecting with Project Impact will be on hand. This would be a good time to attach
yourself to a project.

Mentoring and Advocacy
Mentors,
have given any thought to your goals for the Mentoring Program this fall? Well, you have a
few weeks to prepare, because goal setting must begin with each of us as Mentors.
Positive, obtainable goals are important in each of our lives and certainly play a great
role in our mentoring successes.
The one goal that you have each set is indicated by the
faithfulness you have concerning the development of our youth. Our new mentees will
undoubtedly present fresh situations for us to ponder, which will probably strengthen your
desires to make a positive change in their life by stressing goal changes that will result
in a favorable productive future.
The first goal you as a mentor should try to convey to
your mentee, is the importance of being committed to the program. Their successfulness
will grow once they realize that we are here for them - No Tricks! No Games! - just
an honest and sincere interest in their well being.
Our new group structuring will help each of us as mentors
by providing on the spot support during our sessions. We will have each others back, so
that no one feels they’ve been left hanging.
So we’re ready, and we can’t
wait! Good positive upbeat attitudes - KEEP THE SPIRIT!!!
Volunteers are encouraged to update their status.

From The Executive Dir.
Slowly but Surely.
W e are getting settled into the
Impact way. It is our dream to make this corner a power house for healing our young
people. But this will take not only some new positioning but a lot of PR to let agencies
and groups know that we are ready to move to the next level.
Will you carry the message to people in need? Will you tell someone about our programs?

Juvenile Diversion /
Parenting Seminar
H ello Project Impact Extended Family Members!
We are nearing the completion of our
summer session of the Juvenile Diversion Program. We have had strong attendance from both
parents and youth. I have been pleasantly surprised that several of the youth have brought
friends with them to the meetings. I see this as a positive for Project Impact because
these teens are not only enjoying and learning from the program, but they are also
ambassadors spreading the word! I would also like to share with you the fact that while
these families are experiencing troublesome times, they all state that their faith and
belief in the Lord as the motivation and strength to seek help. Let us keep these families
in our prayers.
As family issues and concerns change, so will the need arise for program development.
It is my hope that Project Impact will help address those needs. Please contact me on
ideas and suggestions you may feel will enhance the services we provide and continue to
spread the good word!
