Mission Statement
To mentor youth in our community by providing a safe environment that promotes well-being, education, personal development and community engagement.
About This Cause
Since 2015, the Gloucester Boxing Club (GBC) has been a 100% volunteered base nonprofit. We center our mission on helping the youth and young adults in our community, not called to the typical opportunities provided by other school sports programs, but who respond to the first-class instruction we provide in the sport of boxing. While all sports offer a physical workout, boxing offers a unique set of benefits beyond self-defense and exercise. Learning to box challenges the body, the intellect and the will of everyone who steps through the gym doors - whether or not they choose to compete. The GBC’s goal is to provide youth and young adults with a solid understanding of their own self-worth, as well as instill the virtues of hard work, dedication, discipline, respect and humility. GBC takes a holistic approach to boxing – not only to teaching the sport and cultivating athletes, but helping to ensure that youth in the community enjoy a safe environment for personal development. Working with children as young as six and serving approximately 35 youth per year, more than 70% of our active members are from low-income, single-parent households, and who rely on the GBC volunteers for mentorship.
