MISSION &
|
Our mission is to provide training to support teens with social-emotional intelligence and leadership tools that create self-awareness, resilience, coping, and resolution skills to develop healthy relationships and success in life.
The Torch Foundation’s vision is a world of empowered, responsible, and confident teens.
By instilling compassion, confidence, and integrity in our youth, our goal is to create an ever-widening circle of leaders who create extraordinary results for themselves, their families, and the world.
Today, The Torch Foundation is a 501(c)3 organization created in 2002 in Los Angeles, California. It is run by a dedicated team of professionals, trainers, coaches, volunteers, and its Board of Directors. We partner with donors, sponsors, and organizations, such as schools, youth centers, and religious or spiritual institutions, so that the training can be entirely free for teens.
