Volunteer
At Fencing Forward, we are committed to our core mission: Using fencing as a developmental tool to empower youth in underserved communities. To ensure our efforts remain focused on our unique initiatives while still supporting the broader fencing community, we have strategically partnered with Fencers DoGood.
Through this partnership, we connect fencers with meaningful service opportunities at USA Fencing National competitions and beyond. If you are looking for hands-on volunteering opportunities, we encourage you to explore their work.
Our Core Initiatives
While we partner for general volunteering, Fencing Forward remains dedicated to driving our signature programs:
- Fence-A-Thon
- Gear up for Summer
- Community Outreach
- En Guarde Scholarship
- The Community Grant
- Clinics/Camps
- Mentorship
Ready to Take the Next Step?
If you want to move beyond volunteering and help manage the operations behind these initiatives, we invite you to join our Leadership Team.
By joining the team, you won’t just participate—you’ll lead. Take ownership of our finance, marketing, or web development and coding departments – while turning your passion for the sport into a powerful tool for social change and helping us scale our impact.
