Indianapolis · Community Program
Trade the streets for the ring.
A boxing-based mentorship program for Indy youth and adults reentering society. We build discipline, defuse anger, and create a future free from violence — one round at a time.
Our Mission
Mentorship in every jab.
Guns Down Gloves Up Indy uses boxing as a vehicle to mentor young people and support adults reentering the community. In the gym, we teach conflict resolution, focus, and accountability — skills that travel home, to school, and to work.
Every participant gets a coach, a community, and a path forward. No experience needed, no participant turned away for inability to pay.
