The Fall Stampede 5K is held annually on West Palm Beach's scenic Intracoastal waterway, along breezy palm tree-lined Flagler Drive.

This year Urban Youth Impact celebrates 20 Years of Impact by loving, equipping, and empowering inner-city youth! The ministry began in 1997 when God called Bill Hobbs from the fairway to the inner-city. Bill was a PGA Golf Professional with a remarkable career ahead. But I was disturbed seeing so many at-risk youths without fathers in the inner-city and living in poverty. Together with his wife Kerry, they started Urban Youth Impact to serve Palm Beach County’s at-risk youth in the Tamarind Avenue corridor. They were on a mission to reverse the trends of Urban America and make a positive Impact – bringing the hope of Jesus into urban neighborhoods. That’s how Urban Youth Impact began – with a mission to love, equip, and empower inner-city youth and their parents to fulfill their God-given purpose.

Urban Youth Impact is on a mission to love, equip and empower inner-city youth. This is a short video that summarizes our mission, the unique programming offerings and the impact we are having in the West Palm Beach area.

Gerald Hearns, an alumni of Urban Youth Impact, shared his powerful story of overcoming the obstacles of living in the urban community and how Urban Youth Impact attributed to his success story.

I had it bad...

How Urban Youth Impact has transformed the life of Emanuel McMiller.

On December 10th, through hundreds of community partners, business, churches, donors, and volunteers, we were able to share the Joy of Christmas with families in the inner-city of West Palm Beach and surrounding areas. It was a day of toys, groceries, prayer, and encouragement. As we expand our campuses, the opportunity increases to share the joy in a bigger way.

Thank you to our donors, volunteers, and partners for sharing the joy of Christmas with the residents of Stonybrook Apartments! 175 parents “shopped” for 600 children - and received toys, groceries, personal care items, and prayer.
