Vision
Our organization’s vision is to empower High School youth in Las Vegas through the body, mind, heart, and spirit to transcend the inequities and traumas impacting their lives.
Mission
Develop pathways in schools for community members and organizations to support youth in improving their overall well being and developing leadership skills. We utilize a countercurrent method that provides developmental programming through circles, boxing and leadership coaching for the youth and a social emotional learning framework to unify staff in serving students.
What We Do
We provide coaching and training for those interested in learning the art of boxing. If you are looking for a good workout, to learning the art of self defense, or strengthening your mindset, we are the team to help you do that. If you are interested in taking it a step further and competing in the Amateur or professional circuit, then we are here to help you in that journey as well. In addition to boxing, we care about academics and the youth. For that reason, we also provide a free academic and boxing program for the youth to help them become champions of life.
Why We Started
"Aren't you too ghetto to be in honors classes?" Growing up in a low-income community of color-- despite our potential and power-- this is the question and stereotype that marked my high school experience. I became a high school teacher to ensure youth already giving up on their education and believing that they are powerless have the support, advocates and resources to resolve the issues they face in their community and create the changes necessary to improve their lives and the lives of those around them. |
Values
Empathy, Resilient, Supportive, Optimistic, Determined, Self-Reflective, Open-Minded, Humble, Creative
Importance
We help youth develop and see their potential that often goes untapped. With our support and guidance, the youth will succeed in improving their community and inspire those around them. In the long run, we will end generational poverty one youth at a time and create solution oriented leaders who will change the world.
