The Circle of Discipline
Apr. 02, 2015
The Circle of Discipline's mission is to provide youth and young adults with alternative programs and enrichment activities that address their physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual needs - 360 degrees of balance, which empowers them to reach their full potential and become positive leaders in their communities, cities, state, and in a global society. Circle of Discipline Inc. was founded in 1993 by Mr. Sankara Frazier. Born and raised in south Minneapolis, Sankara witnessed the deterioration of Minneapolis communities and families and began volunteering as an amateur boxing coach in metro area gyms in an effort to give back to the community. Realizing that coaching was simply not enough to truly help the young adults living in poverty-stricken communities plagued with violence, crime, substance abuse, prostitution, and much, much more, he formed the Circle of Discipline. |
