About

Founded in 2008, the OKC Youth Wrestling Foundation’s mission is to build relationships between at-risk boys and positive role models. Although sound athletic principles are taught, the focus of the Foundation’s leadership is on the boys’ behavior and character development. The Foundation also sponsors a one-on-one mentoring program for at-risk children, which many of the wrestlers participate in. Through the combined efforts of the wrestling team, mentoring program, and church partners, the boys, their siblings, and families find the support they need to succeed in challenging environments.
