Give a Kid
a Fighting Chance

For some kids, this gym is the one place someone knows their name and stays in their corner. Touchstone Youth Program gives young people a coach, a community, and a shot, no matter where they come from.

Why This Exists

He Knows This Road

DaVarryl Williamson grew up in poverty in Washington, D.C., with a father in prison and a mother fighting addiction. A boxing gym gave him something to hold onto: discipline, a mentor, a way out. He turned it into a ten-time national championship, a Hall of Fame career, and a college degree as a first-generation student.

He started TYP in 2015 for one reason: so the next kid gets the same shot he did. Every young person who walks through the door gets a dedicated coach in their corner, no matter where they come from.

“This isn’t a gym. It’s a family.”

Why It Matters

Same Kid. Two Roads.

Without a corner
  • Afternoons with nowhere to go
  • No adult who shows up, every time
  • Energy with no outlet, doubt with no answer
With TYP
  • A gym that knows their name
  • A coach in their corner, round after round
  • Discipline, confidence, and a shot they earned

The difference isn’t talent. It’s whether someone stands in their corner.

More Than a Workout

It Happens in the Corner

A coach who knows your name, stays in your corner, and believes in you before you believe in yourself.

This is what your support builds. Not just punches and footwork, but steady, trusted adults who show up for young people round after round, in the gym and in life. Every young person who walks through our doors gets a dedicated coach in their corner, no matter where they come from.

Why It Works
Two things.
A consistent mentor and a structured, physical outlet are two of the strongest protective factors in a young person’s life.

Boxing delivers both in a single hour, discipline and confidence built rep by rep, alongside an adult who genuinely shows up. That is the whole idea behind TYP.

The Proof

Results You Can Stand Behind

Since 2015, TYP has put expert coaching and genuine opportunity in front of young people across Colorado, and meets every young person where they are.

The Program

What Young People Get

An old-school boxing gym, technical coaching, and a community that shows up for them.

01

Championship Coaching

Training under a champion and a deep bench of USA Boxing certified, SafeSport-trained coaches. The same fundamentals that build champions, taught with patience to first-timers.

02

Mentorship

Coaches who know these young people by name and stay in their corner long after the workout ends. Steady, trusted adults who model discipline, accountability, and respect.

03

Life Skills

Focus, goal-setting, handling pressure, and bouncing back from a setback, the habits learned in the ring carry straight into school, work, and life.

04

A True Commitment

Every young person who commits gets the full program: coaching, gear, and travel to tournaments. We invest in kids who show up ready to grow, so the only thing we ask for is effort.
