For the past six years, I've been coaching and tutoring at NYC Cops and Kids, a nonprofit community boxing gym in Brooklyn. The gym has become my second family, and I feel lucky every day to come to work.
Boxing appeals to kids who like to fight, kids with anger issues and trouble with authority, kids who have been abused, and kids who don't do well in organized team activities: In other words, the kids most likely to fall through the cracks. Last year our gym experienced a devastating flood. We also lost our main sponsor.
