Youth Forged operates the Forge Intensive — a 4-week, standards-based development program for ages 16–18.
Too many young people are entering adulthood without the discipline, resilience, or direction required to succeed.
Motivation fades.
Comfort is prioritized.
Accountability is rare.
Youth Forged exists to close that gap — not with inspiration alone, but with structure, standards, and follow-through.
The Forge Intensive is a 4-week, invite-only development program for young adults ages 16–18.
Each week combines:
Physical challenge
Mental pressure
Character and identity coaching
Clear expectations and accountability
This is not a fitness program - This is not therapy - This is not motivational speaking.
It is a structured environment where young people learn to show up, do hard things, and take responsibility for their effort and behavior.
FIVE sessions per week
Fixed session structure
Small, coach-led cohorts
Clear standards for effort, respect, and follow-through
Participants are selected through an application and interview process to protect culture and outcomes.
Youth Forged is funded through community and corporate sponsorships.
Sponsors fund individual participants (“Champions”) and receive:
Clear impact reporting
Documented outcomes
Optional storytelling and recognition
The opportunity to support workforce-ready youth
Sponsorships range from single-cycle support to long-term partnerships.
