Where youth learn that the strongest fight is the one you choose not to have.
The PEACE THROUGH POWER Program transforms lives through boxing, mentorship, and peace-building. Participants learn discipline, conflict resolution, and self-respect. Replacing aggression with achievement, and retaliation with resilience.

The PEACE THROUGH POWER Program is more than a boxing program — it's a movement to end youth violence through discipline, mentorship, and community support.
Founded on the principle that every young person deserves a second chance and a positive path forward, we replace conflict with conversation, aggression with achievement, and violence with victory.
Our Mission: To reduce youth violence by providing at-risk young people with the skills, support, and structure they need to resolve conflicts peacefully and build successful futures.
Our Method: Through intensive 13-week courses combining boxing training, conflict resolution education, mentorship, and peer support, participants sign non-aggression agreements and commit to settling disputes in the ring—with gloves, rules, and respect.
Our Impact: Since our founding, we've served over 125 participants, achieving an 87% program completion rate and an 82% reduction in violent incidents among graduates. But numbers only tell part of the story—the real impact is measured in transformed lives, restored families, and safer communities.

Help improve the lives of young people. You can help at-risk youth better their circumstances by making a donation to the PEACE THROUGH POWER Program. You are empowering them to take an alternative course and make their decisions matter.

Young people learn that true strength comes from self-control, not aggression. Boxing teaches focus, respect, and the discipline to walk away from violence.

Every participant is paired with trained mentors who've walked similar paths. They provide guidance, accountability, and proof that change is possible.

We don't work alone. Through partnerships with schools, law enforcement, courts, and community organizations, we surround participants with a network of support.

"Before PEACE THROUGH POWER, I was always in fights. Always angry. The program taught me that being tough means controlling yourself, not hurting others. Now when someone disrespects me, I walk away—and that takes more strength than throwing a punch. PEACE THROUGH POWER saved my life."
Result: Marcus graduated with honors, received a boxing scholarship, and now mentors’ new participants.
"I got my son back. For two years, I watched him drift toward violence and the streets. The PEACE THROUGH POWER Program gave him structure, positive role models, and a reason to believe in himself again. Today he's planning for college. Thank you doesn't even begin to cover it."
Result: Her son completed the program, reduced court involvement, and is now enrolled in community college.
"I've referred over a dozen students to PEACE THROUGH POWER, and I've seen remarkable transformations. Kids who were headed down a dangerous path are now leaders in their schools. This program works because it meets young people where they are and gives them real alternatives to violence."

We're honored to partner with professional boxers who volunteer their time to referee our graduation exhibition matches, and celebrities who mentor participants, and raise awareness about youth violence prevention.

These children are the perfect example of true champions as they face their hardest battle—the conflict between their allegiance to the neighborhood and their own desire for more. Supporting the PEACE THROUGH POWER campaign and witnessing the incredible transformations these kids are undergoing as they confront their inner challenges makes me really proud.

These children exemplify true champions as they engage in the most challenging fight—the struggle against their own limitations and obstacles. It brings me immense pride to endorse the initiative PEACE THROUGH POWER and to observe the remarkable transformations that these kids are undergoing as they confront their internal battles.

"These kids are the real champions. They're fighting the hardest battle—the one against themselves. I'm proud to support PEACE THROUGH POWER and witness these incredible transformations."
