We use vigorous physical activity to teach coping skills for mental health challenges to improve well-being.
MJKO is a non-profit charity committed to creating a positive impact in South Parkdale, where we are located. We use two different approaches: recreational boxing, which involves no physical contact, and competitive boxing, which does entail physical contact. We aim to bring about social change in communities that are affected by systemic barriers, such as poverty, racism, housing, food insecurity, and violence.
We achieve this through three essential methods:
1. We offer free sports leadership classes led by certified trauma-trained coaches after school and on Saturdays.
2. We team up with Second Harvest to provide weekly food packages for participants, which are often too expensive for low-income families.
3. We provide mentorship and employment opportunities to youth from marginalized communities who experience challenges searching for work.
