ESCOT (Emanuel Steward’s Champions of Tomorrow) provides kids a place where they can excel in Athletics, Academics, Leadership, and Community, so they can stay on the right path, become anything they want, and give back as productive members of society. The ESCOT Youth Development Program is a unique approach at not only training kids to box, but also provide for them the necessary tools to become

better students and better stewards of their community. A long-time vision of former undefeated professional boxer turned business owner – Jeff Styers, the Kronk Gym has now experienced the reality of helping kids in these various ways. Shoring up the efforts, is former professional featherweight title contender –Erskine Wade who is the lead trainer, mentor, and father figure for these kids who are longing for a better way. In addition to the well-equipped boxing gym, directly across the hall is two small classrooms where the kids will be required to work with tutors and finish their studies prior to working out. Furthermore, it will be required that these pugilists in training, will become positive stewards in their community by assisting in various ways to make their neighborhoods better places to be. If we create the next World Champion – great, but we’re more concerned about creating better people through teaching core values and life-lessons that can be used inside the ropes, in school, careers, or life in general.

We celebrated a great achievement today by honoring Zinet Mendoza and Ibraheem Adeyemi, the two recipients of the Damon Weaver scholarship for 2026. Both are distinguished graduates of Wayne Memorial High School, with Zinet set to attend trade school for auto body repair and Ibraheem bound for Wayne State University to study Neuroscience and pursue a career in surgery. Our gratitude goes to Lee's Famous Chicken, especially Jesus, the General Manager, who kindly donated the catering for our event. We also appreciate the efforts of Director of Development Delano Hornbuckle and his family for the ice cream sundaes. The scholarships were made possible by Jeff Styers' generosity, showcasing his investment in the future of our youth. Lee's Famous Recipe Chicken- Wayne, MI

We were pleased to host Jasmine from the Association of Black Psychologists as our special guest today. She led an informative session on collaboration, followed by a group activity where the kids developed ideas for fun field trips during our summer program. This exercise proved to be valuable for all participants. We're grateful for the Association of Black Psychologists' ongoing mentorship and support for our youth. We value their association with our program.
