Mentoring Juniors Kids Organization

MJKO is a charitable organization that promotes positive and healthy lifestyle choices through mentoring and leadership training. Our dream at MJKO is to create Community Champions by using the sport of non-contact boxing to get kids moving, thinking about healthy food choices, believing in impossible dreams and understanding the importance of volunteerism.

“MJKO has created an opportunity for our students to engage in a new physical sport that spans across cultural barriers and grades. Their message of ‘working hard’, ‘perseverance’ and developing leadership skills is very strong. They instilled hope where none previously existed. Through the confidence they developed with MJKO, our students hold their heads high in the country they now call ‘home’ ”.

“Boxing is my life. It’s the only thing in my life that brings a true smile on my face. I joined this program so I can learn more about boxing so when I’m older I can do it for a living. Also, when someone needs help I will know First Aid and CPR to save them. …I will not give up.”
