Our Vision

The Orlando Youth Boxing & Violence Prevention Initiative is designed to provide foster youth and at-risk teens with a safe, structured environment where they can develop discipline, confidence, and life direction.

Through mentorship, boxing training, and life-skills development, our program aims to prevent youth violence by giving young people positive alternatives and strong role models during the most critical after-school hours.

Summer Boxing Camp

Englewood Community Center

The Foster Buddies Summer Boxing Camp, in partnership with the Englewood Community Center and Orlando Boxing Club, is dedicated to providing youth with a safe, structured, and engaging environment during the summer months. Our mission is to empower young people through boxing, mentorship, and life-skills development, helping them build discipline, confidence, and resilience.

Through daily training, positive role models, and guided mentorship, we aim to keep youth active, focused, and connected to a supportive community. By creating opportunities for growth and personal development, we help participants develop the mindset and skills needed to make positive choices and succeed both inside and outside the gym.

Youth Employment

The Foster Buddies Youth Employment Program, in partnership with Orlando Boxing Club and the City of Orlando, is dedicated to providing meaningful employment opportunities for youth throughout the year in a safe, structured, and supportive environment. Our mission is to equip young people with real-world work experience, mentorship, and essential life skills that build responsibility, confidence, and long-term success.

Through hands-on job training, leadership development, and guidance from positive role models, we aim to prepare youth for future careers while keeping them engaged in productive activities. By creating pathways to employment and personal growth, we empower young people to develop strong work ethics, make positive choices, and become contributing members of their community.
