Mission Empower: Health and Fitness Access for All
Mission Empower is the nonprofit wing of Mission MMA and Fitness, dedicated to making health and fitness accessible to all. We believe that everyone deserves the opportunity to become stronger, healthier and more confident, regardless of their background or circumstances.
Through Mission Empower, we offer fitness programming for adults with special needs, martial arts scholarships for low-income young adults and self-defense classes for women in marginalized communities.
Donate today to help us grow our programming!
Through our innovative programs, we offer:
- Fitness Programming for Adults with Special Needs: Creating inclusive fitness opportunities that promote physical health, well-being, and social engagement for adults with special needs. This program primarily benefits nonverbal adults from Chicago's south and west sides.
- Women’s Self-Defense: Empowering women with the skills and confidence to protect themselves and feel safe in any environment. This program focuses heavily on marginalized and oppressed communities, throughout Chicago and around the world.
- Martial Arts for At-Risk Youth: Providing martial arts access to at-risk youth with the goal of fostering personal growth and encouraging positive life choices. This program is focused on Chicago area teens and young adults.

Mission Empower is committed to strengthening both individuals and communities through the transformative power of martial arts and fitness. By focusing on empowerment, we aim to break down barriers and create lasting change—one fighter at a time.
