Atlantic Impact
Organization Name:  Atlantic Impact
Organization Overview:  Atlantic Impact increases opportunity in persistently low-achieving schools by using history, community engagement, and global exchange. Through experiential learning and student-led opportunities, youth develop college-ready skills that empower them to become the next generation of urban innovators. Atlantic Impact Goals: •To create a national movement which impacts urban youth across the country surrounding an experience which has shaped our nation’s past, present, and future – the legacy of the transatlantic slave trade. •To bring awareness to youth on a personal level as to how a nationally and globally significant experience impacts their lives and individual communities. •To use historical and cultural examples as a model for success in the lives of at-risk urban youth. •To self-empower youth through understanding that they are capable and ready to become agents of change in their communities, nation, and in the larger global society. •To connect and engage youth in dialogue throughout impacted countries through this globally shared experience which was directly felt across four continents, promoting important intercultural exchange for global competency.
