A YOUTH

EMPOWERMENT

MOVEMENT

Built to Become is a youth personal development nonprofit organization based in Los Angeles, California, focused on helping kids ages 12–17 build better lives.

We believe you cannot build a great life without building your body, your mind, and your character. These are the core pillars of becoming better.

We achieve this goal through a mix of boxing training,  growth mindset training, and character building lessons.

10 spots are currently open for our 8 week Power Builder workshop!

Built on Discipline and Driven by Purpose

Built to Become teaches young people that their circumstances do not have to define who they become.
“You Decide Who You Become” means that outside voices, social media, peer pressure, fear, and self doubt do not have to determine the direction of your life.
What you repeatedly think, say, and do becomes wired into the brain and shapes your future. Through boxing, movement, mindset training, emotional awareness, and daily discipline, students learn that confidence, resilience, leadership, and character are built through consistent action and repeated decisions.
We believe young people have the power to train the mind and body for growth, purpose, and a stronger future.
What you repeat becomes who you become.
