The IBA programme is one of two programmes run by the Bay of Plenty Youth Development Trust. IBA is closely tied to the initial programme established by the Trust – the Tauranga Boxing Academy. Both have been specifically set up for ‘at risk’ youth. TBA’s focus is developing fitness, health and wellbeing, with boxing as the ‘carrot’ to engage them. IBA’s focus is providing these youth with options for employment and further training and education. It has been running for eight months. IBA students are expected to take part in the TBA fitness training sessions.

The key focus areas of the 13-week (Monday to Thursday 9am-2.30pm) IBA programme includes important employability skills - self-management, a willingness to learn, thinking skills (problem-solving and decision-making) and resilience. IBA provides a wrap-around service to all course participants for a further 13 weeks when they are placed either in employment or on an education pathway, and beyond that for a further six months if need be. 

Both IBA and TBA share the same core values: whakaute (respect), whakapono (trust), manawaroa (resilience), manaakitanga (kindness) and takohanga (responsibility). These are reiterated both in TBA training and IBA programme class work. Underpinning the values are the Māori Whare Tapa Wha health and wellbeing framework, where course participants learn about improving their physical status (e.g. knowledge of diet, drug and alcohol abuse) and gaining balance in other areas of their lives such as social connectivity (including understanding whānau links and how to deal with negative behaviour), as well as spiritual and cultural matters.

Below is IBA's promotional video and Instagram page so that you can have a look and canidea about what we offer.
