Every year, UGA alumni and community partners play an integral role in every one of our trips, giving our site leaders and participants a connection (Dawg-grown or not!) to the communities they are serving for the week. If you live near a city or town that IMPACT serves, you can get involved by contacting your local alumni chapter or emailing ugacls.impact.lc@gmail.com. Involvement often includes:
donating a meal to a trip
serving alongside a trip
connecting site leaders to local organizations

Partner of the Year - Patrick Armstrong
|
Each year we recognize one of our community partners with the IMPACT “Partner of the Year” award. The recipient of this award is someone who has demonstrated outstanding commitment to supporting IMPACT Service Breaks as well as someone who is committed to social justice and service in their own community.
We are proud to name Patrick Armstrong as our 2017-2018 Partner of the Year recipient. Patrick lives in New Orleans, Louisiana and has served with our Environmental Justice participants for the last six years. Patrick is dedicated to cleaning the streets of NOLA with the help of his organization, Trash Mob. In addition to being an outstanding member of the New Orleans community, Patrick is also a proud alumni of the University of Georgia. We were thrilled to have him be our Keynote Speaker at last year’s All Trip Celebration. |
