About Find Your Grind
The Future Belongs To The Misfits
We're accelerating first steps to passion and career discovery, worldwide.
Find Your Grind's mission is simple:
To curate and help navigate the 21st century roadmap, enabling people to discover who they are, where they’re going and the first steps to get there.
FYG educational products, online discovery platform, and live events are accelerating connections to purpose and lifestyle discovery, worldwide. Our apparel and coffee endeavours grew out of the same mentality as our educational products: inspire youth to own their own identity, and their future. Finally, the FYG Foundation is helping bring to life radical dreams of positive change through experiential learning and connection.
For High Schools
Our high school curriculum changes the conversation around career exploration — asking students what kind of life they want to live, then guiding them to create it.

Find Your Grind’s self-assessment and job shadow videos provide gritty details students really want to know, such as actual work hours and pay, risk of automation and the potential to work remotely.

By letting youth drive the programming, FYG creates the sickest live events across the country, focused on helping students find their purpose and leave a positive legacy.
Apparel
We've got Gen Z covered, head to toe. Find Your Grind's apparel brand grew out of the same mentality as our education curriculum: inspire youth to own their identity, and their future.
