Our Mission:
Wellness.
noun | well·ness | \ ˈwel-nəs \
-
the quality or state of being healthy in body and mind, especially as the result of deliberate effort.
Using boxing as a model of discipline, courage, and perseverance, EOBA provides high-quality programming and services that promote mental and physical wellness, academic achievement, and build vital life skills. We create space for youth to practice, hone, and internalize the tools and attitudes needed to be exemplars of wellbeing for their peers, families, and communities.

Free After School
& Summer Programs
We want to support youth in recognizing and utilizing ways to build their capacity across all dimensions of wellness in order to live healthy, self-sufficient lives.
Community Services
Through our community service partnerships, we seek to bridge as many gaps in accessing critical components of wellness as we can. Just as our youth and their ability to live well are impacted by their families, we believe they are also impacted by the communities in which they reside.
Boxing, Sports & Exercise
As a core aspect of our programming, boxing, sports, and exercise impact many of our efforts to support youth in becoming champions for wellness. Boxing and Sports programs encourage physical wellness as well as social, emotional, and intellectual wellness.
