Outreach that never quits

Who we are

A New Haven program built for boys

We are a local nonprofit, run by people from this city, for the young men growing up in it. School breaks are when boys either find something to do or find trouble — we make sure it is the first one.

More about us
01

Sports

Basketball, soccer, and team games that build fitness, discipline, and pride in a group that has your back.

02

Self-control

Structured lessons and group sessions on managing emotions, focus, and making the right choice under pressure.

03

Brotherhood

A place where boys 5 to 16 know each other by name, hold each other up, and come back season after season.

04

Outreach

Our Trouble Team reaches boys who need extra support and a steady adult in their corner — never turned away.

Leopard Youth Boys Program team huddle with coaches

“Give a boy a team, and he stops needing to prove himself alone.”

The Leopard Youth approach

Coaches and mentors who live in the neighborhood. Small groups. Clear rules, enforced kindly. A boy who shows up gets better — in the gym, in the group session, and at home.
