At Punch4Pounds Inc., we are committed to a holistic approach to youth development, emphasizing the whole-youth and employing a person-centered, wraparound model to support not only youth, but also the family, and community.
Whole-Youth Approach
We recognize that youth development is multifaceted, encompassing physical, emotional, social, and cognitive growth. Our programs are designed to nurture these dimensions by:
· Promoting Competence: Enhancing skills across various domains, including academic, social, and vocational, to build a strong foundation for future success.
· Building Confidence: Fostering self-belief through achievements and positive reinforcement, empowering youth to take on challenges.
· Encouraging Connection: Strengthening bonds with family, peers, and community to create a supportive network that promotes a sense of belonging
· Cultivating Caring: Encouraging empathy and compassion to nurture positive relationships and community involvement
OUR MODEL
An Extension of Support, Powered by the CPPM™
our Cognitive Performance & Prevention Model™ (CPPM) serves as a comprehensive extension of support, advancing public safety, public health, and community development.
Rooted in innovation, our model integrates cognitive boxing, wraparound mental health services, and workforce development to create safer schools and communities — building a community where all youth thrive, and violence is interrupted.
Developed by Steven Matthews, Executive Director and national Youth Violence Prevention Consultant, CPPM™ represents a model approach for sustainable community transformation.
