Featured on the Education Insight Podcast
What does it take to raise the next generation of changemakers? In a compelling episode of Education Insight, Roy Juarez, Jr.—award-winning author, speaker, and founder of IMPACTtruth—dives deep into the mission behind his life’s work: empowering students to discover their voice, develop their leadership, and realize their full potential.
A Mission Rooted in Transformation
IMPACTtruth is more than a nonprofit—it’s a movement. During the episode, Roy shares how the organization’s programs go far beyond traditional education, reaching students who have often been overlooked or underestimated. Through mentorship, leadership development, and real-world opportunities like becoming published authors, students are discovering not just what they’re capable of—but who they are.
“When young people are given the tools to lead and the permission to be heard, their transformation becomes inevitable,” Roy says.
From community day schools to urban districts, the IMPACTtruth model is equipping students with confidence, voice, and vision—before they even graduate.
Why This Matters Now
With a growing number of youth facing trauma, academic disruptions, and identity challenges, Roy explains that programs like these are more vital than ever. The episode explores:
How leadership skills and personal growth go hand in hand
Why mentorship changes the trajectory of a student’s life
The power of storytelling through student-authored books
Ways schools and educators can implement the model in their own communities
