First10Forward is a New Jersey Non-Profit Corporation, whose mission is to advance the professional goals of women and girls pursuing non-traditional careers. The organization is the brain child of a group of women graduates of the United States Merchant Marine Academy (“Kings Point”), who share a sense of gratitude for the life altering, professional and personal opportunities their Kings Point education bestowed upon them, at the same time an awareness of the challenges they had to overcome to succeed in a traditionally male dominated industry. These women share a desire to pay forward their wisdom and financial backing to girls and women embarking on similar non-traditional journeys.
