Project F: the First-Ever Gym for Foster Youth

More Than a Gym

My name is Jesse Setaro and I spent many years in the foster care system. With the help of a very special mentor, I was able to rise above poverty, homelessness, and instability to build a happy and successful life. Now, I want to give back to foster kids in Boston through "Project F", a special gym and mentoring program that would give orphans and foster children a safe place to thrive and grow.
