Support The Fit Chance Project

Hi, my name is Marcos Rodriguez, and I'm the founder of The Fit Chance Project (FCP) - a 501(c)(3)nonprofit born out of purpose, passion, and a firsthand understanding of what our youth are truly up against. For the past several years, I've worked as a juvenile probation officer in Travis County, Tx. I work every day with teens who are smart, creative, full of potential - but are stuck in environments filled with poverty, instability, trauma, and a dangerous lack of positive structure. I've seen what happens when our youth don't have support. Too much unstructured time. Nowhere to go after school. No healthy outlet for all the pain they're carrying. It doesn't take long for that energy to turn into risk, conflict, or worse - a cycle that keeps repeating itself. That's why I created The Fit Chance Project.
What we do:
FCP funds gym memberships, sports programs, cheer and dance teams, and positive extracurriculars for at-risk youth in our community - kids who need structure, encouragement, and a safe space to grow stronger, inside and out.
We partner with local gyms, trainers, and mentors to give these teens more than just access - we give them hope.
Fitness becomes the foundation.
Discipline becomes the tool.
And a support system becomes their chance to break generational cycles.
Why I'm Asking for Your Help:
I know these kids. I've looked them in the eyes. I've seen them light up the moment someone believes in them.
And I've seen how quickly that light can go out if nobody shows up.
That's where you come in.
Your donation - whether its $10 or $100 - helps us:
- Pay for gym memberships
- Cover registration for local sports teams and programs
- Provide gear, transportation, and access to something life-changing
This isn't charity - its an investment in future leaders.
You're not just donating - you're giving a kid their first chance at something better. You're giving them their Fit Chance!
Every Dollar Counts:
Please help me grow this mission.
Help me give these kids structure. Purpose. Strength.
Help me show them that they're worth showing up for.
Donate today. Share this with someone. Be the reason a young person gets their Fit Chance.
With gratitude,
