Founded in 2006, Chicago Youth Boxing Club (CYBC) is a nonprofit, sports-based youth development organization rooted in the North Lawndale and Little Village neighborhoods on Chicago’s Southwest Side.

CYBC was created to offer young people a safe and structured environment where they can develop discipline, resilience, and purpose through the sport of boxing. As an alternative to gang involvement and drug activity, our program takes a holistic approach to youth wellness—combining rigorous athletic training with mentorship and life skills development.
