InnerCity Weightlifting (ICW) is a Boston-based non-profit organization dedicated to inspiring hope and providing a path to success for the area’s most at-risk youth. ICW uses the sport of Olympic Weightlifting to facilitate student participation in a mentoring program designed to empower individuals to say “no” to violence and “yes” to opportunity. Through its work, ICW is able to connect students with the communities they live in to reduce violence and promote professional, personal and academic achievement among urban youth.

ICW was proud to join State Street last Thursday for their annual 5K from the Quincy office!

Our Head of Development and ICW Trainer Tray helped kick things off by leading a warmup for more than 200 State Street employees before they hit the course.

Events like this strengthen community connections while supporting employee wellness through movement, teamwork, and shared experiences.

We’re grateful for the opportunity to bring movement, energy, and community to the start of the day. Thank you to State Street for including ICW in such a great employee wellness event!

Interested in bringing this experience to your organization? We’d love to partner with you.

ICW had a great time participating in yesterday’s Kendall Square Challenge, where more than 50 companies from across Kendall Square came together for some summer fun, friendly competition, and a whole lot of heat!

ICW was proud to be Post #22 along the challenge course, led by Coach Melanie, Trainer Etanis, and our amazing staff team — Ava, Connor, Felicia, Jonathan, and Meaghan!

A special Shoutout to the Real Housewives of Kendall Square team—you all ROCK!

A big thank you to everyone who competed, organized, volunteered, and survived the heat. We loved being part of it!

We want to thank every single individual who showed us support for the last 15 years. What started off as a realization in 2005 and an idea in 2010 by our founder, Jon Feinman, has blossomed into a 15 year journey of community and social impact.

InnerCity Weightlifting (ICW) has evolved from a weight training program in 2010, to a workforce development track in 2011, and then to a social justice organization leveraging a social enterprise in 2012 (when we opened our first gym) helping to create economic mobility through careers in fitness and beyond.

Over the course of 15 years, our 4 pillars have not changed. We still believe in trust, hope, bridging social capital, and economic opportunity. We will forever believe.

ICW addresses the problems, while valuing the people. We don’t believe in doing something for someone. Instead, we partner with and alongside each person at ICW. We don’t promise to solve someone’s problems, which is naïve and condescending at best, but instead we promise to be by someone’s side so they don’t have to solve alone.

We kept that promise for 15 years and we plan to keep it for 15 more.

Thank you to everyone for showing up to our celebration last weekend. We are grateful for your continuous support and commitment to our community. We look forward to what the future has in store for ICW and we are excited to bring you all along with us.
