Mission/Goals: TIMPACT Over The Rhine (OTR) mentors neighborhood youth through employment, education and enrichment programs and develops innovative opportunities to improve their lives and their community.

Notes: Impact ORT has three youth programs. The Eco-Garden Program allows the youth to plan, plant, harvest, and sell the produce they grow in former urban lots.
The Art in the Market Program selects areas of Over-the-Rhine in need of beautification and creates public art projects to celebrate culture and community. The Recycle Kids program educates 8 to 10 year old children about recycling and reusability and employs them in the collection and processing of aluminum cans.
