CREATE

Every child has God-given creativity and potential waiting to be unlocked. Yet for many children in the inner city, opportunities to explore the arts, sciences, or sports are rare. Budget cuts and underfunded schools mean the very programs that inspire imagination, build confidence, and shape character are often the first to disappear.

That’s why Urban Youth Impact created CREATE, an innovative program that stands for Connecting, Restoring, Empowering Artists Through Experiences. Through CREATE, students discover their passions in the arts and sciences while learning how to connect with God, grow in confidence, and express themselves in powerful, life-giving ways.

In CREATE, students:

  • Develop skills in art, music, cooking, and STEM-based electives

  • Learn perseverance, creativity, and self-expression

  • Gain confidence as they discover their unique gifts and talents

Connecting, Restoring, Empowering

The Power of Play

Alongside CREATE, we offer Sports Electives, dynamic programs that give students a healthy outlet for their energy while teaching teamwork, discipline, and perseverance. Sports not only strengthen the body but also build resilience, leadership, and character. For many students, the playing field becomes a bridge to mentorship and personal growth.

Where Creativity and Growth Meet

Together, CREATE and Sports give students safe, enriching spaces where their potential is nurtured, their confidence grows, and their character is shaped.

When you give, you’re not only supporting art supplies or sports equipment. You’re investing in the transformation of children who are learning to see themselves as God sees them—capable, creative, and full of purpose.
