A 501(c)(3) Nonprofit Foundation · Two Fronts. One Wound.

Every kid is one compass
away from becoming a warrior.

There are 153 million orphans in this world. Over a million in Mexico alone. There are 18 million American kids growing up without a father in the home. Same wound. Different country. I should have been one of them. I wasn't — because one man showed up with a compass.

Now I'm building this foundation so every kid who needs that compass gets one. Casa Hogars in Mexico. Schools and districts in the US. Identity reconstruction in the places the system already gave up on. One home at a time. One classroom at a time. One kid at a time.

The Reality · Two Fronts. One Wound.

The problem isn't behavior. The problem is identity.

Casa Hogars in Mexico. Apartments in Akron, LA, and every city in between. Different country. Different language. Same wound. Same kid waiting for someone to show up with a Compass before the cartel, the gang, the street, or the system shows up first.

These kids don't have an identity problem because they're broken. They have one because no one ever helped them choose one. The trauma, the abandonment, the cartel recruiter, the empty seat at the dinner table — they all show up first with a story. Once a kid believes that story is who they are, they live it out. The Compass is how we help them choose their identity before their situation chooses it for them.

The Mission Shift

From one boy. To a movement.

Then — LA schools 2010, Güerote with the original cohort of young warriors Then · Los Angeles · 2010

It started in LA schools.

I started walking with boys whose fathers never came home. Over the years the work moved into multiple LA schools and districts — classrooms, certificate cohorts, mentorship programs, graduation walks. Hundreds of kids becoming men, becoming fathers themselves. That history is the receipt.

Now — Casa Hogar Jalisco, kids holding the Warriors Compass curriculum Now · Los Angeles + Jalisco · A Global Movement

Two fronts. One Compass.

Young Warriors Global runs on two living fronts. In Los Angeles + US school districts — where Jason still lives part of every year — the work that founded the foundation is still active across multiple schools, classrooms, and certificate cohorts. In Jalisco, Mexico, daily Orphanage Playbook intensives run in partnership with DIF and a growing network of Casa Hogars. Same Compass. Same Warriors. Different soil.

Next — Global expansion, orphanage courtyard with kids in shirts Next · US Casa Hogars · El Salvador · Philippines · Colombia

Going where the donors send us.

US Casa Hogars (through Children's Services), El Salvador (where the vision was born), Philippines, Colombia, and more across Mexico. One orphanage at a time. One coach at a time. One school district at a time. One country at a time. The crisis is enormous. The method is ready. We just need partners who refuse to look away.

The Playbook Ecosystem

Five environments. Five editions. One Compass.

The Young Heroes Playbook is not a book you buy off a shelf. It's a mission you implement through certified training. Every environment gets a version built for its specific wounds, language, and culture — and no one teaches it without first earning the Warriors Coach Certification.

Active · HQ

Orphanages Edition

Daily Playbook intensives for orphan residential care — Casa Hogars in Jalisco, Mexico, in partnership with DIF and a growing network of homes. The kids who have no one. The mission's center of gravity.

Active

Foster Homes Edition

Built for foster families and group homes. The kids who have been moved, returned, and moved again — needing identity that travels with them no matter whose roof they're under tonight.

Active · LA

School Districts Edition

CASEL-aligned curriculum for grades 4–6. Full district adoption package: Teacher's Guide, Administrator's Executive Brief, and Jason's keynote assembly. Active in multiple LA schools and districts — built for systems ready to go beyond SEL and into identity.

Active

Churches & Ministry Edition

A faith-integrated version of the Playbook for youth ministries, church programs, and faith-based organizations. The Warriors Compass translated into the language of purpose, calling, and covenant.

Active

Community Programs Edition

For the certified Coach taking the Compass into a rec league, a park program, a baseball team, a neighborhood youth group, an after-school space — wherever kids gather and an adult is willing to show up with a Compass instead of a clipboard.

In Development

Juvenile Hall & Facilities

Identity reconstruction work for incarcerated youth under 18. The hardest possible setting. The kids the system has already labeled. This is next.

The Integrity Gate

The Playbook is the weapon. The certified Coach is the warrior who wields it.

The Young Heroes Playbook is not for retail. It cannot be bought by a parent, a teacher, a coach, or a well-meaning adult without training.

Before any Playbook enters any environment — orphanage, foster home, school district, church, community program — the adult leading it must complete the Warriors Coach Certification by Young Warriors Global.

That's not a barrier. That's the standard. If you're ready to meet it — let's talk.

The Framework

Eight words. One framework. The compass that saved my life.

The Warriors Compass is the backbone of every Playbook, every classroom, every certified coach, and every kid in our program. It's not a slogan. It's a way of moving through the world — built from survival, taught from experience.

W A R R I O R S
W
Willing Stay open. Don't shut down when it gets hard.
A
Action Move before you feel ready. Refuse to wait.
R
Relentless Keep going. Something inside you refuses to quit.

Resourceful Find what you need. Refuse to go it alone.
I

O
Optimistic Believe in possibility — even when nothing around you does.
R
Responsible Own every choice. That's where freedom lives.
S
Self-Aware Meet yourself honestly. Own the wound and the gift.

The Warriors Compass was built by an eight-year-old boy in the dark — with no father, no family, and no one. He figured out what he needed to survive. Then he grew up, and he gave it to the world.
