From the start of the program we have expected good results; Program IMPACT was accepted and received by the local community, parents and especially the teachers. As a result, IMPACT received the approval and recognition of the County School Inspectorate as an extra-curricular program in one of our city's high schools.
New Horizons Foundation intends to introduce the IMPACT Program in other schools in the Jiu Valley and elsewhere in Romania. In 2002, only 15 kids benefited from this program, primarily because of available space and money. However, since February, 2003 this number rose to 35. After summer, 2003, a new IMPACT Club started in Petrosani. New Horizons Foundation is continuing to seek funds to increase student involvement and diversify the activities offered.
Diana Certan, a student for Master Degree in Community Development at Babes-Bolyai University is conducting a study about the efficiency and the need of IMPACT Program.
