Description

Forge253 is a 501(c)(3) (status pending) nonprofit youth enrichment program based in Lakewood, Washington, proudly serving families across the greater 253 area. We believe every young person deserves hands-on creative and physical outlets that build confidence, community, and real skill. Our programming is organized into four rotating tracks — Music, Arts, Movement, and Exploratory — delivered in a 4-week class format so kids can sample new interests throughout the year without a long-term commitment. Classes are led by passionate local instructors and designed for a range of ages and skill levels. Forge253 is currently in its early launch phase, building out its first pilot cohort, facility, and community partnerships. We're grateful for the support of our founding families, volunteers, and donors as we grow. Questions about classes, registration, or getting involved? Reach out — we'd love to have your family be part of the founding Forge253 community.
