FAQs

While there are no strict requirements regarding the specific amount of time spent with your matched child, there is no off-season at Team IMPACT. We recommend that matches connect 2-4 times a month during the school year and at least monthly during the summer months.

The length of time a team is on the waiting list varies. We cannot guarantee a child for each interested team within a specific time frame, but we are consistently working with the pediatric medical community to get more referrals.

Your match will be managed by a highly trained Case Manager, who is either a master’s level social worker or a certified child life specialist. Your Case Manager provides guidance and recommendations to your team to maximize success and address challenges.

Team IMPACT facilitates the match for two years. Afterward, families and teams can stay connected in whatever way works for them.

While we only match one child/family per team for a two-year period, many teams choose to sign another Team IMPACT match after their first match has come to a close.

Our mission is solely focused on college athletic programs because of the year-round commitment to one team and the mentorship that a group of young adults can provide to their matched child.
