Beyond Boxing's Program Elements

Justice Involved young adults, 14-25, receiving services for Alt. to Sentencing, Alt to Detention, Pretrial, Reentry and similar justice related outcomes. Must be referred by a Case Manager, Youth Advocate or similarly situated Justice Alt. org employee.  

Beyond Boxing is a 3 month program that meets twice a week for 3 hours per session. Our classroom session lasts 1 hour and is followed by a 1.5 hour boxing session. A 15-30 minute break occurs between classroom instruction and boxing training. 

Attendance to both the classroom and boxing session is mandatory. 

Beyond Boxing's mentors are USA Boxing accredited boxing coaches with experience coaching amateur and professional boxers, alike. Most importantly, they believe in positive change and share significant lived experience with our clients. Upon graduation, Beyond Boxers have the ability to join the team(s) lead by BB's coaches

Beyond Boxing partners with and operates our services at our host boxing gyms. These community partners are vital to our services, as they are proximal to the young adults we serve and are filled with high achieving youth from these neighborhoods. We select these gyms based on a criterion of how reflective the gym is of its surrounding community, its history of service to its community members and for its commitment to positive change.

Beyond Boxing makes full financial considerations for its participants. This includes providing Beyond Boxers with appropriate equipment, USA Boxing memberships, memberships to our host gyms and trainer fees.
