Team IMPACT

Organization Overview
Team IMPACT is a national nonprofit that promotes healthy social and emotional development for
children living with serious and chronic illnesses. by matching them with a local college athletic team.
The team provides an extended support network for the children and their families using a strengthsbased,
future-focused perspective. This two-year therapeutic mentoring program provides children with
a true sense of belonging and focuses on building confidence and resilience while encouraging healthy
behaviors. To date, Team IMPACT has matched over 2,200 kids on over 750 campuses, and 60,000
student athletes have participated in the program. Founded in Boston in 2011, Team IMPACT has since

Position Summary
Case Managers manage the relationships between families and their teams, providing clinical guidance,
psychoeducation, and therapeutic support at every stage of the Team IMPACT journey. Each
relationship starts with the Case Manager understanding each family – their child’s diagnosis, the
challenges they’ve faced and how a mentoring relationship might provide benefits. From there, Case
Managers create a ‘game plan’ of social-emotional goals that are tailored to the specific needs of each
child. In addition to providing therapeutic and clinical support, Case Managers participate in creating
moments of pure joy for the children in our program, like attending games, having teammates attend
birthday parties and school events, or video chatting during clinic visits and hospital admissions. The
Case Manager is the main point of contact that ensures this community of mentors can support their
teammate and their family when they need it most.

Reporting to the Director of Clinical Services, Case Managers will work with a caseload of participating
families and teams and will primarily communicate with participants via telephone, email, and other
virtual platforms, with some in-person interaction when possible.
