Mission and programs · 2025

• THE AGOGE PROJECT'S BOXING PROGRAM BUILDS SELF-DISCIPLINE, FOCUS, AND ACADEMIC ACCOUNTABILITY THROUGH STRUCTURED AMATEUR BOXING TRAINING. THE PROGRAM DELIVERED 529 HOURS OF INSTRUCTION IN 2025, AND EIGHT AMATEUR BOXERS - ALL IN THEIR FIRST YEAR OF COMPETITION - REPRESENTED TAP IN 24 AMATEUR BOUTS AND 3 PROFESSIONAL BOUTS, TRAVELING TO A NATIONAL TOURNAMENT IN MICHIGAN AND COMPETING IN REGIONAL EVENTS IN NORTH CAROLINA EN ROUTE TO 13 CHAMPIONSHIPS AND 2 STATE OR NATIONAL REPRESENTATIONS. TO REMAIN ELIGIBLE TO COMPETE, BOXERS ARE REQUIRED TO MAINTAIN STRONG SCHOOL ATTENDANCE AND ACADEMIC STANDING, REINFORCING THAT THE GYM IS A TOOL FOR LIFE SUCCESS RATHER THAN AN END IN ITSELF.
