WHAT IS FORGING YOUTH RESILIENCE (FYR)? 

Forging Youth Resilience, formerly Steve’s Club National Program, is a nonprofit organization dedicated to providing fitness, nutrition education, and mentorship to under-resourced youth through partnerships with fitness facilities across the U.S.

The organization’s mission is to empower young people by helping them build both physical and mental strength, equipping them with life skills such as perseverance, resilience, and confidence. 

“Through teamwork and goal setting, FYR prepares youth to face life’s challenges with strength and maturity.”

FYR serves youth from challenging backgrounds, including those from under-resourced families, youth facing unemployment, homelessness, foster care, involvement in the justice system, and socio-emotional difficulties. Their team also provides critical support and mentorship to help these young athletes develop resilience, build confidence, and break through barriers, helping them grow into strong, capable adults with the tools to succeed.

HWPO Training’s Chief Operating Officer, Jack Barry, will be running the TCS New York City Marathon in November to raise funds for FYR, and we’d love for you to contribute if you can. Click here to donate and learn more about how you can get involved.

Each donation, regardless of the amount, contributes to the collective effort to improve the lives of young individuals and goes a long way in fostering resilience, confidence, and positive life changes among the youth who benefit from FYR's programs.
