Sponsors help Strive for Strength fund its two main program activities: Boot Camps and Special Projects.
Boot Camps
Strive for Strength participants enroll in boot camps that meet for four to six weeks. Each boot camp focuses on a specific Core Area and is led by a coach, usually an older adult. The environment is safe, motivating, and social. Guest speakers, activity leaders, and mentors are brought in to help participants achieve the learning objectives of the boot camp. Our goal in 2025 is to host six boot camps per quarter, each with up to 15 participants, for a total of 360 enrollments on an annual basis.
Special Projects
Special Projects are projects undertaken by participants under the supervision of an S4S advisor. These projects are designed to help them develop critical thinking, research, and communication skills. Participants will be given a choice to develop one of the following:
- Write a blog
- Develop and deliver a talk
- Produce a podcast
- Produce a video documentary or essay
- Publish a book
The theme will be related to an issue that affects teens and young adults. The specific topic will be decided by the participant and his/her advisor. Participants will have up to three months to complete their projects. Projects will be published and/or presented in a public forum upon completion and with the approval of the advisor and the S4S Program Director. Our goal in 2025 is to host ten Special Projects per quarter for a total of 40 on an annual basis.

All Strive for Strength Sponsors will be recognized at SASF events including the Annual Crab Feed, Annual Golf Tournament, Big Day of Giving, as well as in our monthly newsletter and at other public events throughout the year.
