Description

Started 4 years ago TravelWithChaz has reached hundreds of youth and their families and we have had successful outings to sporting events, recreational and educational adventures. One really cool aspect is a new program in which we have started free boxing programs with an olympic boxing champion. The idea is to promote non violence and an alternative to guns. We will also include our seniors in the boxing program to help bridge the gaps between the grandparents and the youth. Volunteers are needed for this program to help with instruction, guidance and offering self discipline methods for the youth.
