About Us
Jordan Hicks: My why
In February of 2024, we launched TRUE STRENGTH
with a powerful vision: to unite students and communities in celebrating Ability Awareness. Through corporate sponsorships, we aim to raise funds and empower local Special Education departments. These funds will provide much-needed resources for facility upgrades, life skill programs, and initiatives that promote inclusion and engagement.
Our vision extends beyond fundraising. We believe
TRUE STRENGTH creates a platform for future leaders and educators to emerge of the student bodies that participate in our events. By encouraging students to connect with those from different backgrounds, we foster a spirit of understanding and empower the next generation to be more inclusive.

Our Goals
INSPIRE
The world may be full of negativity, but you can be the spark that ignites hope. Don’t wait for opportunities to appear – create them!
A simple act of encouragement, a kind word, can uplift someone’s day and show your compassionate spirit.
Your words have power. Choose to use them to build others up, not tear them down. When many see disabilities, we see opportunity. Let’s champion potential and celebrate the unique strengths everyone brings. Together, we can create a brighter, more inclusive world.
CHAMPION
Purpose isn't found in the obvious places.
It thrives in championing the overlooked. See the student sitting alone, the one who feels invisible? Be their champion! Every classmate brings a unique piece to the puzzle, making the whole picture richer.
No one is an afterthought; everyone is valued and needed.
Together, you form a community with a shared purpose, a mission that thrives on inclusivity. Embrace the power of connection. As you stand beside those who might feel left behind, you create a stronger, more vibrant tapestry of life. Be the champion, the bridge, and watch your school and community flourish.
Our Goals
True friendships are a life’s treasure. Seek out those who value growth and maturity, for these connections will enrich you deeply. Don’t be afraid to step outside your comfort zone and initiate friendships. Remember, awkwardness is often mutual, and taking the first step can create a lasting bond.
