THE PEOPLE WE IMPACT
Impact1! reaches out to motivated Chattanooga residents, regardless of their background. Our graduates learn about their God-design through Dr. David Banks' "PATH To Success" life skills curriculum. They also experience a hands-on success model through the construction skills led by Wayne Moody.
Many of our participants have a criminal background, but our graduates have proven that they are more than their records. Most of our graduates have worked on Impact1! construction projects. Some of them are holding down full- or part-time jobs. Some have engaged in their own businesses, improved their relationships, or cleared legal hurdles.
We've seen some miracles among our participants. Impact1! graduates become partners with us, always blessing us and often helping and encouraging each other. What a privilege God has given us to serve alongside them!
