What We Do

Today's youth face negative pressures. As a result, they risk making life-altering decisions that leave a devastating impact on their future: 

  • Participating in risk taking behavior--in real life and on social media
  • Disconnecting from familiar peers and adults
  • Trying to fit in with others
  • Lacking necessary knowledge, skills, and opportunities to be life-ready

 

For more than a decade, IRON Lives has been breaking the cycle of negativity through proven research-based programs that take students from striving to thriving. 

IRON Lives operates on a BUILD, SUPPORT, SEND model for youth. 

Build- Mentors and guest speakers from the IRON social immune system build character, life skills, and meaningful positive relationships with students.

Support-Mentors, guest speakers, and volunteers from the IRON social immune system engage youth through workshops designed to practice life-ready skills and social activities to maintain interest in IRON Lives programming.

Send- IRON youth participate in community events and acts of service alongside mentors and community leaders for authentic leadership opportunities.
