The Forged By Valor Mission

At Forged By Valor, we are a brotherhood of veterans committed to empowering our fellow service members with high-quality welding training and industry-recognized certifications. We understand the unique strengths and challenges of military service because we’ve lived them. Our veteran-led community provides the mentorship and technical foundation necessary for veterans to forge a clear path to rewarding careers in the welding industry.

In Partnership with the IWDC

We are deeply honored to be nominated by the Independent Welding Distributors Cooperative (IWDC) as a 2024 charity sponsor. This partnership is a powerful bridge between the veterans we serve and the industry leaders who provide the tools of the trade.

How Your Support Helps

Contributions from the IWDC community directly impact the Forged By Valor program. Your generosity ensures our students have access to a top-tier training environment, allowing us to focus on what matters most: helping veterans master their craft and secure their future.
