AG Impact is Asphalt Green’s center for excellence, innovation, and access in sports, fitness, and play.
Every rep you finish, dollar you give, and hour you volunteer helps New Yorkers live active, healthier lives.
AG Impact was created to extend the promise we’ve made since opening our doors 50 years ago: that every child, every family, and every community deserves the chance to experience world-class programs that let them move, play, and thrive, no matter their age, ability, income, or zip code.
AG Impact is the center from which Asphalt Green pursues its mission to transform lives and build community through sports, fitness, and play for all. By uniting partners, members, athletes, coaches, and thought leaders from across our community, we deliver excellence at all levels of programming, advance new ideas that push our industry forward, and invest over $15 million each year in breaking down the barriers that keep too many on the sidelines.
With everyone at Asphalt Green contributing directly to our goal, AG Impact ensures there is no limit to what we can achieve together.
