Healing, growth, and resilience happen through relationships.
"When we invest in young people, we don't just change individual lives — we strengthen families, neighborhoods, and the future of our communities."
— Glen Gonzalez, Founder
The Inti Project is a Washington-based youth development nonprofit helping young people build resilience through trauma-informed boxing, mentorship, mental wellness, and leadership development. We create safe, inclusive spaces where youth develop confidence, healthy relationships, emotional well-being, and the life skills they need to thrive.
Inspired by the Peruvian meaning of Inti —
a symbol of light, hope, and new beginnings —
our work is grounded in the belief that
No One Thrives Alone. Together with families, volunteers, educators, and community partners, we're strengthening the protective factors that help young people overcome adversity, discover their potential, and build brighter futures.

Since getting involved, I’ve seen such a positive change in my child. They’re more confident, more willing to try new things, and genuinely excited to be part of a community where they feel supported. As a parent, knowing there are caring adults in their corner means so much.
