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.
