COVID-19
Like most organizations, COVID-19 has impacted the operations of Urban Impact. However, we are blessed to still be offering a wide selection of programming for students to participate in. The health and safety of our students is paramount. Urban Impact regular monitors all CDC and Allegheny County health regulations pertaining to COVID-19. All regulations have been incorporated in our programming and are updated and adjusted when necessary.
