Chicago Youth Boxing Club

Specialties

We are a non-​profit gym that provides boxing and mixed martial arts instruction from certified coaches to youth and families. We also provide health education and programming to our youth members. As a community-​based organization, most of our youth live in the communities of Little Village, North Lawndale, Back of the Yards, Humboldt Park, and Berwyn/​Cicero.

History

Established in 2006.

Our youth are often searching for something positive to be part of. CYBC provides our youth with a social network and an opportunity for self-​improvement. I was raised in Little Village for most of my life. As a young person, I would have loved the opportunity to be part of the CYBC Family. Instead, I learned to box on the North Side of Chicago with the Matador team. Members at CYBC must have complete dedication in their training and commit to a healthy diet, and through this they learn self-​discipline. We provide a social atmosphere where veteran youth train novice youth. Leadership skills are developed and refined. Rap Sessions recognize youth for their contributions to the community and provides its members a sense of family through social events. I highly recommend CYBC for any youth that live near the Chicago Metro area. — Jesus Sanchez, CYBC Board Member
