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 student

s with the communities they live in to reduce violence and promote professional, personal and academic achievement among urban youth.

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.

Even though ICW’s mission means we work predominantly with men, the reality is we don’t exist or make an impact without the incredible women in the organization both past and present.

Please swipe through and read as some of our Trainers give ICW women their much deserved flowers. 🌸

We see you, we love you, and we will continue to do better for you!!!
