Team ImpactServing Christ and Making a Difference

Our Purpose

Because  we desire to see our teens grow in their understanding of sacrificial service to others whose needs are greater than our own; and   

Because  we want opportunities for our teens to fellowship with other home schooled teens; and

Believing  that our teens are privileged and blessed, and that it is our responsi­bility to give to others out of our abundance; and

Believing  that the best relationships are built by working and playing together:

Our primary focus  is serving in our community, allowing us the opportunity to demonstrate the love and compassion of God by giving of our time, talents, and resources. We desire to concentrate our efforts on ministering to needy children.


Our secondary focus  is developing friendship and camarade­rie within the group through various entertainment activities and group games.


Team Impact is open to all teen home-schooled children in grades 7-12. We are centered in the Glendale/Peoria area.

There are two types of meetings—service and fun. Service meetings consist of pre­paring projects in homes or working on-site at a needy organization. These meetings are scheduled monthly, according to the need of the organization.

Fun meetings are intended for the refreshment and bonding of the teens, to allow them a time to experience the feeling of acceptance that comes from being with a group of like-minded folks. Fun meetings are also held monthly. Some meetings are recreational sports; others may be movies, parties, games, swimming, or whatever is appealing  to the group.

Students who participate will grow in their leadership skills, as we increasingly request students to take on the responsibilities of organizing and implementing plans of action to accomplish service tasks or pull together the details of social meetings.

Another benefit of participation is documentation of service for high school tran­scripts. A certificate will be presented to each student who participates in at least half of the service projects during the school year. Attendance is taken at each service meeting.
