Impact Oakland's Journey Begins!
Empowering Youth Through Boxing
At Impact Oakland, we use boxing as a vehicle to empower and inspire young people to lead purposeful lives. Boxing is the foundation of our programs, providing structure, discipline, and a platform for youth to develop resilience, confidence, and a sense of belonging. It’s more than a sport—it’s a transformative tool that helps participants unlock their potential and build the skills to succeed in life.
