The Boxing Project is a free program for young women aged 10-24 years. Classes are non-combat and teach the technical skills of boxing. Qualified instructors work with participants to increase their strength, fitness, and agility. The program increases physical self-awareness, mindfulness and comfort within participant’s selves.
Culturally sensitive programs are also available, aiming to encourage connections within the individual and increasing their connection to community, peers and support services. For more information, please visit https://www.theboxingproject.org/
