The START Program

A 501c3 not-for-profit organization with a straight talk approach, combined with a physical fitness component. Offering honesty, experience, and commitment.

We support youth and families alike. Building better communities for the future. Our young men will work well in a group, but not be afraid to stand alone when necessary. They will be better equipped mentally. They will make conscious decisions throughout life. They will become more economically sound. Learning to communicate constructively and effectively, by having a platform to vent and release without being judged. They will also become physically fit. Exercise has been proven to relieve stress, to promote respect among peers, and also attack the obesity epidemic our world is currently faced with.
