Kinship CrossFit

l was established to support the educational needs of 7th and 8th graders that have not found success at traditional middle schools. Learning about nutrition and exercise while working out with their teachers, police officers, and other community members, fosters an environment that will present these students with the opportunity to gain skills, values, and respect while receiving encouragement from authorities and peers. Along with our afternoon OPS class we hold an evening class for any area youth interested. This class brings together neighborhood kids and police officers for a fun, challenging workout in a team-building environment. Kinship CrossFit brings a community based exercise program to help establish positive behavior through hard work. Proceeds go towards one certified CrossFit instructor (the rest are volunteer police and probation officers) and equipment. As funds increase, the plan is to provide the students with shoes and work out apparel.
