“Redefining Strength”

The mission of Innercity Weightlifting is to reduce violence and promote professional, personal and academic achievement among urban youth. It serves young people on a direct path to gang involvement, former and active gang members, and victims of domestic violence through the sport of Olympic Lifting. They work to empower youth with the confidence to say “no” to violence and “yes” to opportunity.

Jon Feinman, a former staffer at Northeastern Univ’s Sport in Society, is founder and executive director of Innercity Weightlifting. Some of his students may participate. Why weightlifting? Find out; this will be different!
