WELCOME TO KARATE FOR CHANGE
At Karate for Change, not only do we teach character-building, discipline, respect and self-defense, we provide a safe place for black and brown kids to thrive.
Our goal is to provide support to students and athletes in sports, especially Karate. From beginner level students to elite Olympians, the Karate for Change team aids in accessibility to classes, advanced training, supplies, transportation, equipment, and providing a safe environment to learn and thrive in. You will learn how to set and exceed your personal and athletic goals.
We are dedicated to facilitating services and supplying the resources you will need on this journey to success. Our vision is to have an equitable opportunity in life and in sports.
#KARATEFORCHANGE
Seeing a need for energetic, nonprofit work in the martial arts industry, we formed our organization to provide sensible solutions. We’ve consistently grown since then, all thanks to the helping hands of this amazing community!
We focus on making the maximum positive effort for our community. Our members and volunteers provide the momentum that helps us affect change. Using data-driven models, we provide solutions that make a long-lasting difference.
Our amazing team of volunteers are committed to helping others. We take our convictions and turn them into action. Interested in being part of our cause? Get in touch for more information!
