"Coach Jesse leading our Ulift-Youth class. Once per week, justice involved youth spend time learning weightlifting and training from our Coaches. These sessions promote accountability, trust and teamwork. In each session, youth are paired up and have an element of responsibility for each other," says UliftU.
