207: The Youth Boxing Club That Is Changing Lives: Jamyle Cannon and The Bloc
Manage episode 358358298 series 94789
The core activity of this after-school program is boxing, but it offers so much more to students. In this episode, I talk with Jamyle Cannon, executive director of The Bloc Chicago, about why this program has been so wildly successful at helping students achieve personal and academic success, and how other educators can follow the same model by building engaging programs around student interests in their communities.
