About

Youth Becoming Engaged, Inc. is a public-safety partner that works alongside community agencies such as law enforcement, schools, hospitals, and social services.

Together, we focus on connecting with young people, building supportive relationships, and providing education that helps them stay engaged in their communities through our broader work.

Through these partnerships, we offer youth practical learning and open conversations about community and self-advocacy, mental health, interdependence, entrepreneurship, financial literacy, leadership, and harm reduction—core elements that represent the “E” in ENGAGED.

Our program runs for one year and includes three phases. Youth take part in one-on-one and small-group boxing and conditioning sessions, life-skills training, and trauma-informed coaching. We also provide transportation to reduce barriers and support consistent attendance.
