About us
We recognize that investing in our youth's physical and mental well-being yields numerous benefits. When young individuals are supported in their development, they gain the tools to overcome challenges, pursue their aspirations, and contribute positively to society.
By prioritizing their well-being, we are cultivating a generation of empowered individuals who are more likely to become productive, engaged, and compassionate members of our community. Furthermore, healthy and confident youth serve as role models and inspire others, creating a ripple effect of well-being throughout our community.
Our History
The Get Bent Friends non-profit provides services ranging from strength training and nutrition education for student-athletes to after-school tutoring and career mentorship with the goal of preparing the youth in our community for adulthood.
Our programs have been in place since 2018 and have been funded by volunteers in our community and ourselves. To ensure the long-term sustainability of our programs, we established the Get Bent Friends non-profit in 2022, seeking vital financial assistance so that we can maintain our community programs.
