SERVICE
SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY
STRENGTH
The driving force of Youth Boxing for Change’s mission is to encourage social responsibility through boxing for NYC youth ages 13-19 of all genders, which we implement through the following:
BOXING
Boxing classes provide discipline, physical and mental strength.
MENTORSHIP
We match each youth participant with a dedicated mentor to give them support and guidance both inside and outside the boxing ring.
SERVICE & SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY
Service and leadership opportunities empower our youth to make change in their communities and develop a sense of social responsibility.
ENRICHMENT ACTIVITIES
Enrichment activities expose our youth to unique experiences, people, and ideas beyond their everyday interactions.

- Ethan

"When I started with YB4C, I thought of it as a program where I was just learning boxing. I realize now that the program was helping me prepare for life."
- Diana
16 Years Old
"YB4C gave me so many opportunities to give back to community, be strong, relaxed and learn to love the things and people I surrounded myself with. It helped me realize there was a future in life, that my past didn’t define who I was, but helped me control my future."
