One Model. Seven Ways We Show Up.
More Than Muscle's programs aren't seven separate activities — they're one connected approach to developing the whole young person, delivered through school partnerships, mentoring relationships, and community settings.
How the Model Works
Every program below reinforces the others. Mentorship is the relationship that holds the model together. Leadership and Academic Accountability turn that relationship into daily habits. Financial Literacy and Know Your Rights build the practical knowledge young people need to navigate the world on their own terms. Lessons of Life & Chess builds the thinking skills — patience, foresight, learning from mistakes — that show up everywhere else. Locked In ties it together with the focus and discipline to follow through on all of it.
A young person doesn't have to complete all seven to benefit — but each program is built to connect to the others, so the more of the model they experience, the more it compounds.
The Seven Programs
Delivery Formats
These programs reach young people through short-term pilots, multi-week cohorts, workshops, school and community partnerships, mentoring relationships, and physical-development settings — built to fit the setting, not a one-size format.
