Our History
The origins of New Breed of Youth, affectionately known as New B.O.Y., are deeply rooted in the life journey of its founder, Kareem Hines, who hails from the vibrant streets of Harlem, New York. This remarkable tale began when a young Kareem forged a profound connection with a mentor he encountered at the local YMCA. Kareem's unwavering commitment to empowering young lives found its manifestation in the birth of New B.O.Y. This community-based mentoring organization emerged as a testament to the enduring power of mentorship, dedication, and a fervent desire to create lasting change.
Our Mission
To cultivate and empower youth through programs, activities, and relationship building, focused on instilling in each young man a NEW sense of self and life direction.
Our Vision
Motivating youth and families to look beyond their current circumstances. Have faith and passion that transcends normal and empowers them to greatness!
Who We Serve
New B.O.Y. works with "system-involved" youth, those who have encountered the challenges of juvenile probation, and the Department of Child Services, spanning ages from 6 to 18 years old. Additionally, we engage with youth from the community who have yet to navigate the complexities of the system. New B.O.Y. goes beyond mentorship; we provide invaluable support and resources to the families of the youth we serve, recognizing the holistic nature of transformation.
Kareem's journey from Harlem, New York to Indianapolis, Indiana, and the creation of New B.O.Y. is a testament to the transformative potential of mentorship and the unwavering belief that every young person can find their path to a brighter future. It is a story of resilience, hope, and community—a story that continues to inspire and uplift countless young lives and families today.
