It was formed in New Jersey in 2013. Our mission is to organize and host the charity activities created by IMPACT 501© non-profit organization for the community. We currently have over a hundred members and the number is still growing. IYC has hosted many local events including the 2014 benefit concert for the American Cancer Society, a 2017 Walk-a-thon Pledge for Harvey Hurricane victims, the Lamont-Doherty Earth Open House, the 2015-2018 Market Street Mission to give Thanksgiving dinners for the homeless, 2019 Alzheimer's fundraising concert, senior center visits, a soup kitchen for homeless solution, trail clean-ups and many more. IYC has three branches in New Jersey, California, and Taiwan.

The President's Volunteer Service Award
IYC members can report volunteer hours so that all the significant contributions are recorded and rewarded. Volunteers will receive recognition according to the hours they contributed to conducting educational activities, organizing good-will events, carrying out community service projects, etc. At the end of each reporting period, volunteers who have accumulated sufficient service hours with IYC are eligible to apply for a certificate for the President’s Volunteer Service Award (PVSA).
-
IYC volunteer hours reporting period is from each year’s July 1st to next year’s June 30th.
-
By PVSA guidelines, IYC will award volunteer members who are United States citizen or lawful permanent residents of the United States (i.e., green card holder).
-
A volunteer’s age on January 1st is his/her age for PVSA.

IYC volunteer hours will be logged and tracked in the IYC Members Portal by the IYC leadership team. Members can view their hours and send questions to support@impact-usa.org
