Forging Youth Resilience (FYR) is a member-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization whose mission is to empower young people to build physical and mental strength for life by providing access to a network of community-based fitness programs, nutrition education, and mentorship. FYR serves youth coming from under-resourced families or communities, who might also be out of school, in foster care, experiencing homelessness, or involved in the justice system. FYR offers weekly classes in 24 locations across the nation, with a reach of over 300 athletes every year. Classes include goal setting and reflection, challenging workouts, nutrition education, and connection with mentors and coaches. FYR uses fitness to teach imperative life skills to prepare youth athletes to face the challenges life throws their way with grace, maturity, and strength.
