The program, which stands for New Breed of Youth, is a mentoring program for Indianapolis’ youth to learn leadership, life and conflict resolution skills.
INDIANAPOLIS — New B.O.Y. and New Revelations Christian Church came together to host their very first community block party this afternoon.
The organization encourages the young men to engage in group discussions that focus on a variety of topics, including the following: “It’s family-like. It’s like a father figure. I don’t know everybody’s story, but a lot of people who don’t have family members, New B.O.Y. is here for them,” participant Karter Ballard said.
The block party had tons of activities to keep kids busy and engaged, such as a petting zoo, DJ, vendors, boxing lessons, face painting and more. “Right now, we need some positivity in our community,” New B.O.Y. founder Kareem Hines said. “There’s a lot of negativity going on, especially in regards to our youth and families.”“We want to make sure that before they leave, every young person that is here connects with some kind of mentoring or social services organization that will wrap their hands around them, encourage them and give them hope,” Hines said.“A mentor is someone they can trust on a different level.
