Disadvantaged, at-risk adolescent males needing support to participate in physical fitness programs
We provide a 24/7 joint initiative that engages Young People (YP's) in youth crime hot spots, attempting to break the cycle of youth crime & support YP's to engage in pro-social activities.
As a new initiative, we have commenced a boxing program on Saturday afternoons. Boxing sessions are undertaken with YP's who are assessed as ‘at-risk, disadvantaged, subject to bail or Youth Justice statutory intervention.’ The program consists of physical activity, warmups, boxing & breathing techniques, boxing bag & focus pad work & contains YP's working alongside QPS officers to build rapport & trust.
A high number of the YP's we engage experience extreme disadvantage, often contributing to their engagement in antisocial behaviours. We are seeking workout clothing and shoes, for young males to participate in boxing sessions. This could include workout clothing, shoes, hygiene products, socks, water bottles etc. Thank you.
