Who We Are
A Dual-Engine Model for Sustainable Impact
Forever Forward operates with a unique approach: we train Black fathers and youth with in-demand tech skills, then deploy them to serve nonprofit organizations and schools with enterprise IT services.
The revenue from our IT services funds our programs—creating a self-sustaining cycle of empowerment.
“Founded by Thomas 'TJ' Wilform—a Compton native, former enterprise data center engineer, and single father who knows firsthand how hard it is to find resources when you're a dad going it alone.”
