Central Vermont youth mentoring
Mentoring teens through martial arts
Resilient Defense Institute helps teens build confidence, discipline, resilience, and leadership through small-group martial arts training, guided discussion, and positive mentorship in Central Vermont.
Help Us Build a Dedicated Youth Training Space
Our first course is starting small gym-based room with six teens. Sponsor support will help us secure a safer, better-equipped facility for future programs.
Fund the Mission
Donations help cover gear, shirts, hoodies, bags, space, and future scholarships.
Small Cohorts
Each course is intentionally limited to six teens so mentorship stays personal.
Girls-Only Course
The next cohort is planned as a girls-only course for teens ages 12 to 16.
