Frequently Asked Questions

Is a GED or high school diploma required?

No, it is not a requirement to have a GED or high school diploma.

Who do you accept to the program?

We accept men ages 18-30 who come to tryouts and demonstrate the effort and attitude that will be needed to complete the 4:13 Strong program. View the calendar to see the next tryouts (what we call Mental Toughness Week).

When is the next Mental Toughness Week?

Our Mental Toughness Weeks are held throughout the year. Click here to see details about our next Mental Toughness Week.

Do you take men who have pending legal cases?

We do accept men who have pending legal cases. We will want to know what the case is about and the anticipated timing of court obligations. If we can make that work with the class schedule, then we are happy to consider the participant.

When will an applicant know if he's in the program and get to move in?

Men will be told if they’re accepted to the program on the final day of tryouts (Friday). The program starts the next Monday when they move onto our campus.

What is the housing situation on campus?

Men live in dorm-style housing. We provide food, transportation, and share the responsibility of chores and cooking.

How long is the program?

Our program last 6 months. We typically see guys live on campus for 6-8 months. Once they have completed all program requirements they will graduate. See the program details.

Are there visitation days?

There aren’t currently any specific visitation days in our program. We truly believe 4:13 Strong offers a fresh start, and that begins with removing men from their comfort zones. We do have several events family members can attend to support the men in the program, like Signing Day and Graduation.

Will a participant need their own car to go to work?

While living on campus, we provide transportation to and from the workplace. During the program, they will work to save enough to purchase their own vehicle.

“I could be the one to show my cousins and sisters that there is more to do than street stuff – that there is more than barely making it by. I want to be the one who breaks that cycle and changes it for generations.”
