Who We Are
The Boxing Club, located at 2214 Forest Avenue serves a diverse community of youth--many living within the Forest Avenue/Drake/King Irving/Union Park/River Bend neighborhood communities. The club works with 30-40 youth at any given time with the purpose of developing confidence and focus through this organized athletic activity which in turn leads to success in school and career.
What We Do
Youth in the program range from ages 5-12 with a target population representing at-risk and low-income students from these neighborhoods. Some 70 plus percent of youth in the program live in a home with an income level that is below the poverty line. Youth living in this socioeconomic environment are effectively isolated from many metro youth activity programs when compared with higher-income households that have more effective mobility. This organization exists to serve these youth.
