Outreach that never quits
Our mission
Supporting your child through tough times with care and encouragement.Helping your son turn challenges into growth.
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 us01
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.
“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.

After-school program
The bell rings.He is already covered.
After-school runs Monday through Friday, 3:00 to 6:00 PM — right when most parents are still finishing the workday. No scramble for a ride, no empty afternoon at home, no wondering where your son got to.
He lands in a supervised room with coaches and mentors who know him by name: sports activities, group time, and the same self-control program we run all year. Boys ages 5 to 16 are welcome.
Older boys can stay until 8:00 PM, so a teen still has somewhere to be after 6:00 while you finish your day. That is the whole idea — your son off the street and with us until you are out of work.
