Welcome to Mission Headstrong
Mission Headstrong is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit that was founded with the hope of providing community members a place of belonging. We dream of creating a space where people can come as they are, challenge themselves to reach their goals, and engage in a community that fosters growth in all aspects of life. Long before Headstrong Fit was founded, we envisioned creating a nonprofit that could provide an accessible fitness experience for those facing various barriers and limitations, including physical or intellectual disabilities, trauma, financial difficulties, formerly incarcerated, or single parenthood, just to name a few. Our long term hope is to utilize the non-profit to develop all our coaches and staff to understand how to work with specialized populations. We dream of partnering with local community-based organizations and collaborating to discover how Mission Headstrong can best serve their populations.
Trauma-Informed, Specialized Training
As we have laid down the foundations for Mission Headstrong, we have carefully thought through how to prepare to work with various marginalized or underrepresented groups. We recognize that having good intentions can only take us so far, and that without appropriate trauma-informed, specialized training, we risk causing further harm. For this reason, we are committed to pursuing specialized certifications and hiring consultants to ensure our coaches and staff are all aligned, trained, and culturally competent to work with these vulnerable populations. We are excited to serve our community throughout the county!
