Youth outreach

The Youth Impact Program began Monday on campus, kicking off the fourth-annual summer-long camp that is considered one of the nation's top programs for at-risk children.

With Trojan players Aaron Corp, Travon Patterson, Ronald Johnson, C.J. Gable, Shane Horton, Rhett Ellison, Marshall Jones and Justin Hart participating as counselors, the five-week program teaches football, school subjects and life skills to the dozens of boys in attendance.

The Youth Impact Program was founded by Riki Ellison, a USC linebacker in 1978-82 and a three-time Super Bowl winner with the 49ers. Congresswoman Diane Watson (District 33) is one of the program's staunchest supporters.
