The Downtown Boxing Gym Youth Program is a non-profit organization committed to enhancing the lives of young Detroit men and women through physical training, academic tutoring and counseling, and community service opportunities.

The program encourages youth to engage in a demanding physical, academic and social program in which trainers, tutors, counselors and social workers provide daily services directly at the Downtown Boxing Gym. The kids are attracted by the desire to learn to box – and with the help of the program, they will stay active at the gym, in their schools and in their community.
