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.
