About us

Impact Forever was born out of a heart for kids to be valued.

We deeply believe every child is created for a unique purpose with specific interests and abilities. It is vital for leaders of kids around the world to recognize the uniqueness of each child and then nurture that child to his or her greatest potential. In the process, leaders learn more about themselves and their own value as they lead others, especially children. The impact influences generations of children and leaders to embrace who they were created to be.

Our History

The burden to help leaders of kids around the world could not be ignored.

In 2015, after multiple cross-cultural trips and years of experience as parents, teachers, and children’s directors, a small group of leaders organized and copyrighted the Impact Forever curriculum.

Our first official training took place in Mexico City in the summer of 2015 although the idea for Impact Forever was born during a related training in 2014. Since that time, trainings have been requested and held multiple times per year in locations around the world. Leaders in various cultures are prepared to lead additional trainings locally so that the impact continues.

Our Mission

Impact Forever actively trains leaders to value themselves and the kids they lead.

We do this through trainings led by experienced and educated teachers and leaders of children. Workshops include concepts such as learning styles, multiple intelligences, love languages, and discipline strategies which are applicable in any culture. And the impact is not just for kids. Leaders of children learn more about who they are and what value they bring to the world based on the greatest leadership role model of all time.
