Regional Coordinator, Impact Alabama

Founded by Stephen Black, Impact Alabama: A Student Service Initiative was incorporated in June 2004 and has been involved in direct service to the community since August 2004.  Impact Alabama collaborates with colleges, universities, and communities throughout the state to develop and implement substantive service-learning projects designed to engage students in addressing human and community needs and enhance students’ senses of social and civic responsibility.

Individuals who work with Impact Alabama spend a year of service after graduation at a unique, nationally recognized organization fighting poverty in Alabama. Impact seeks highly motivated, talented graduates to fill full-time positions that implement and oversee three nationally unique initiatives based upon a collaboration with twenty colleges across the state of Alabama: FocusFirst, SaveFirst, and CollegeFirst. FocusFirst trains college students to provide high-tech vision screenings and follow-up care to preschool-age children in Head Starts and day cares in low-income rural and urban areas throughout Alabama. SaveFirst trains college students to provide free tax preparation services and opportunities for economic improvement to working families in Alabama. CollegeFirst trains college and graduate students to help implement a Pre-AP summer academic enrichment program for high school students enrolled in AP math and science courses.
