Discover the power of youth leadership and creative activism through IMPACT Repertory Theatre Performance Company, a performance company where young people transform current events and personal experiences into art that inspires action.
Professor Lumumba Bandele will moderate a dynamic conversation featuring youth artists and leaders from IMPACT Repertory Theatre, highlighting their powerful model of leadership, artistry, and community impact.
Reaching more than 25,000 people each year, from the United Nations to NYC City Hall, IMPACT uses performance as a platform for truth, healing, and change. Their intensive twelve-week Boot Camp develops emerging leaders through training in public speaking, service, and artistic expression. Grounded in the belief that leadership begins with service, IMPACT members also give back through community initiatives, including visits to nursing homes, food drives, and neighborhood cleanups.
