Our Programs
Career Success
During our CAREER AWARENESS Workshop we share details about a variety of career options including entrepreneurship, identify challenges in getting hired, and provide options with plans to obtain and maintain a career long term with financial assistance to offset costs of career training. Participants can participate in week long industry specific career workshops that provide greater detail.
After successful completion of the Career Awareness Workshop, our CAREER PREPAREDNESS Workshop provides customized long term planning services to develop and maintain job or career stability. We deliver career focused, customized, training online or in person. Unlike common job search and placement services FAST Forward Communities develops custom roadmaps in consideration of a participant’s current situation, career desires and training capabilities to prepare them for long term career success.

Family Unity
Parents, Teens, Children and extended family in the same household learn methods to effectively communicate, build trust and demonstrate love in their own unique ways. The programs help all family members show support at home, in school, sports and throughout the community with age-appropriate hands on, fun and interactive activities.
During our FAMILY UNITY Workshop each participant builds a family unity action plan, receives games and a family wellness toolkit. The workshop ends in a Game Night for the entire family for healthy competition with other families, eating good food, practicing effective communication, sharing love and enjoying one another’s company with limited distractions.
Wellness for the Entire Family
Our YOUTH SPORTS & MENTORSHIP programs get children active, even if they have little interest or experience with team sports. There is something for everyone. Children develop self-esteem, discipline, healthy competition & confidence while families support and cheer for them and mentors provide supportive guidance.
