Step Forward Academy
We provide mentorship and coaching at no cost* to help people accomplish career goals
Step Forward Academy was started by Ryan Wong and Sophia Alexander in 2020. Growing up in Orange County, Ryan was blessed to have a strong family support system that helped prepare him for a successful career. After graduating from college and working in tech for several years in the Bay area, Ryan began volunteering as a mentor for young people. Through that experience, he discovered a passion for service that began to reshape his plans for the future. Soon Ryan and Sophia began to envision a program that could help adults with low wages break the cycle of poverty and create financial sustainability.

BraveCo
THE TRUE ROLE OF A MAN
We live in a time where men are hunting for the truth and looking for the codebook to manhood. At BraveCo, we are on a mission to heal the narrative of masculinity across a generation; fighting the good fight together because every man should feel confident and capable of facing his pain, loving deeply, and leading a life that impacts the world around him.
We understand not every man’s story is the same — we are a company of men with different backgrounds, from different regions, and representing a diversity of ages, but we believe in the power of community and brotherhood. Through BraveCo’s 12-month Discipleship Program, we equip men for the journey of manhood and embrace the truth that no person was designed to thrive alone. Join us in the pursuit of wholeness, purpose, and brotherhood and glean wisdom, time-tested insights, tools and resources from men that are experts in their field.
