The ALERT Academy is an intense, post high-school, Christian discipleship and training program for young men who want to live with purpose and make an impact. We forge men to be spiritually sound, physically fit, and ready to serve. ALERT utilizes a military-style structure, intentional discipleship, unique experiences, and professional skills training to create an environment that facilitates the forging process. Our 9-month training program consists of three phases: Basic Training—a mentally and physically demanding boot camp, Intermediate Training—training designed to develop personal competence, critical thinking, and a service mindset, and Advanced Training—professional instruction and mentorship in a man’s chosen training option. Since 1994, we have been working to forge extraordinary men who influence their world for Christ. More than 2,700 men have completed training with ALERT, and our alumni are all over the US and the world. ALERT alumni are currently serving as pastors, businessmen, entrepreneurs, and members of the military, special forces, and local police and fire/EMS departments, using the training they received here to serve their families, churches, and communities.
