New Breed Of Youth Programs

"Connection Before Correction"

Our goal is to cultivate & empower youth through programs, activities, and relationships focused on instilling in each young man - a new sense of self and direction. The NEW B.O.Y. program opens doors to a new world of hope and opportunity!


New B.O.Y. “Exposure” Philosophy

The New Breed of Youth (B.O.Y.) Mentoring & Youth Development program recognizes the importance of exposing our young men to different environments that sometimes makes them feel uncomfortable. However, we fully believe and incorporate the term, “There is GREATNESS in UNCOMFORTABILITY” into our program.

Here are a few of our signature programs. Please consider donating or enrolling as a mentee or mentor today!

Youth Sports

New B.O.Y. collaborates and partners with D-1/The Factory to provide our young men with a safe, positive, and inspiring place to engage our young men in Youth Sports. Our youth sports program is geared towards building strong, healthy relationships with the youth in our program...which hopefully transcends into their peer social circles.

Guns Down, Gloves Up

The Guns Down Gloves Up (GDGU) Youth Boxing program is a conflict-resolution based program with an emphasis on boxing. The Boxing & Physical Fitness component is utilized to instill self-confidence, self-discipline, and respect for LIFE into our young men. Boxing also serves as a therapeutic release for our young men experiencing anger problems.

Leadership Circles

The New B.O.Y. Leaders Circle convenes every Wednesday. This group mentoring format is a “real talk”, hard-hitting conversation between mentors and youth participants. The dialogue focuses on the realities of our communities, strategies for navigating the juvenile system, self-actualization, motivation, empowerment, and LOVE!
