Lost Boyz Inc.

Originally formed in 2008 as an organized baseball program for Chicago’s South Shore residents, the mission of Lost Boyz Inc. developed further as the founder became concerned with the emerging anti-social behavioral patterns impacting local boys. In 2014 the organization noticed this persistent pattern affecting young ladies as well, and extended their services to include girls. With baseball training and competitive participation as our core drivers, our mission is achieved through high-intensity mentoring, intervention, and social entrepreneurship activities. We also incorporate cultural awareness, service learning, and civic engagement. We use this combination of programming and direct interaction to positively and permanently impact the lives of school age youth, resulting in life-altering character development and improved decision making.
