MANASSAS — When Jackie Krick founded IMPACTO Youth back in 2013, the idea was to inspire youth to be the drivers of their own fulfilling destiny. The nonprofit wanted to teach economically and socially disadvantaged youth that opportunities are there for all who want them, and if they need an extra hand, there’s help.
Through IMPACTO Youth’s programs that encourage workforce development, leadership, learning and literacy, they are succeeding, and that’s why they received the Chamber’s 2018 Arts and Education award.
