Who are we?

Ready Aim Fire (RAF) is an U.S.- based 501 (c)(3) nonprofit organization focused on providing sports for social change to communities around the world. Our mission is to empower people of all backgrounds, both mentally and physically, through sport. Research shows children that participant in sports are more likely to gain self esteem, enhance physical and mental health, promote teamwork, among many other social benefits and our programs aim to do just that.

With the help of our administration and staff Ready Aim Fire has provided service to over 800 local at- risk youth, 300 international youth participants, and dozens of adult coaches and volunteers since 2018. We aim to target youth participants (Ages 6-17) living in rural undeserved areas, unemployed young adults (Ages 18-24), and adult volunteers that share our same passion for community support. Our organization consist of three components:

  • Summer Camp/ Campership

  • FREE Food program (Powered by ImpactLA)

  • After-school Program

  • Youth Weightlifting

  • International Sports Exchange

  • Recreational Club teams (Archery & Wrestling)

Overall, we look to continue to promote equality, help foster mutual understanding and respect among different cultures, and create opportunities for individuals to reach their full potential.
