Young Observer met up with Mr Chris Crumpler, executive director of Impact Mentoring Academy last week in their new location at the old Berkeley Institute.

Impact Mentoring Academy announced their inaugural IMPACT Campaign last week.

The Impact Campaign is a 60-day pledge campaign where you can become a partner or patron of the school starting March 1, 2016 and finishing May 1, 2016.

All monies raised will go towards the School Improvement Plan.

The IMPACT Campaign is an annual fund drive to support IMPACT Mentoring Academy (IMA), a non-profit, nonsectarian Christian-based single gender school for middle- and high-school aged males.

Chris Crumpler has been in education for more than ten years in learning support, student services, programme development and sports, with a concentration in behaviour intervention and prevention strategies with boys. Mr Crumpler has worked in multiple settings in Bermuda including home school, primary, middle and high school.

Mr Crumpler was also the co-founder of Team Street Safe, which is an organisation that focused on gang intervention in Bermuda from 2013-2014.

Mr Crumpler is also the founder of Motivational Mentors, a group which empowers the community through various forums including camps, after-school programmes and personal development presentations. The IMPACT Campaign is a 60-day pledge campaign to become an IMPACT Patron or Partner starting March 1, 2016 to May 1, 2016. All monies raised will go towards building and maintaining the SIP (school improvement plan).
