Introducing Our Nonprofit
We wanted you to be among the first to hear about our new organization.
The Alpha Tribe Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Project is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) initiative based in Atlanta, GA with a mission to use the empowering art of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu to create a community that changes lives.
Training Jiu-Jitsu can be a valuable tool to instill confidence and stimulate personal growth, helping young people become happy, healthy and productive citizens.
The Atlanta youth who would benefit most from these programs often lack opportunity due to high training costs and the absence of programs in their communities.
Our aim is to remove the barriers of access to training, and create an environment where all youth are able to experience a transformative martial art that can help develop their potential as individuals and future adults. Our end goal is to help cultivate positive qualities that contribute to the creation of capable leaders and healthy communities.
We are asking you to keep us in your thoughts and prayers as we work toward opening our doors and delivering on this heartfelt project.
