Boxing Project Empowers LGBTQIA+ Folks, Combats Loneliness
Update: 2025-12-28
Description
The Boxing Project, a volunteer-run initiative, offers free non-combat boxing classes at a local PCYC, fostering a sense of belonging for LGBTQIA+ individuals and anyone else seeking a supportive environment. Founded in 2017 to empower women, the project expanded to include queer-focused groups in 2022, providing a safe space for all skill levels. Classes combine physical exercise with open conversations, helping participants build confidence and combat isolation. With young people, particularly LGBTQIA+ individuals, experiencing high levels of loneliness, such programs play a crucial role in promoting mental health and well-being.
