About Us

Empowering All Ages to Innovate, Collaborate and Explore

A Community of Innovators

The Forge Initiative (TFI) is more than just a tech space. We are a community where individuals from all walks of life come together to explore, create, and inspire one another. Our open innovation model bridges generational gaps and skill levels, bringing families, professionals, students, and retirees together—where everyone is both a learner and a leader.

Driven By Passion

What sets TFI apart is our volunteer-driven approach. Our programs, workshops, and outreach initiatives are not only tailored to the community’s needs but are designed, led, and run by our very own members. Everything we offer is driven by passion and a shared goal to empower others—where both youth and adults contribute equally.

Learning Through Discovery

We empower our community to take charge of their own learning through our Informal Learning and Mentoring D-ELL Model: Discover-Explore, Learn, Lead. This approach encourages members to discover and dive deeper into new interests, learn from real-world experiences, and ultimately lead initiatives that inspire others. Our peer-driven learning environment builds confidence, nurtures creativity, and equips everyone with the skills to thrive in a rapidly changing world.
