Project Impact is prorated to help schools and cities that have limited operating budgets, high crime, poverty, violence and disadvantaged children and educational resources. It is also for educational leaders who are proactively engaged in improving school climate, academic performance, student safety, health, leadership skills, character, and life skills. Bound For Greatness is going the distance to ensure successful outcomes for thousands of children nationwide. This is our pay-it-forward program.

Program Agenda
D. West will meet with your target student body 2 times a month inside a classroom or area that has seats and tables to accommodate the students. The duration of the leadership workshops/visits are 25 minutes, 30 minutes and 45 minutes.
At the end of each session, our lead facilitator meets with the school’s or city's program coordinator or the principal of the school.
We discuss program updates, give and receive feedback, review student progress, reinforcement needs, behavior management issues, conflict resolution strategies and initiatives, set new goals and plan curriculum for the following leadership session.
All workshops are strategically planned in advance and placed on a syllabus. We address your monthly target goals that are aligned with our program topics of discussion. Our leadership topics of discussion will be facilitated from our curriculum teacher’s resource book “The Navigator”. Share Project Impact with your leadership team and district directors.
