([projects.propublica.org](https://projects.propublica.org/nonprofits/organizations/831730628))

Positive Impact for Life operates two service pillars: Youth Development (free afterschool tutoring and mentoring for 4th–8th graders) and Community Wellness (free self-care workshops and connections to licensed therapists).
