Carlos Torres, the technical secretary of the presidential cabinet and coordinator of Welfare programs, emphasized the impact of sports on changing lives during an interview with Milenio. He introduced the 'Boxing for Peace' initiative, which is designed to actively engage young people in sports. Torres believes that sports play a crucial role in personal development and social integration. The program will provide professional boxers with a minimum wage and health insurance through the 'Jóvenes Construyendo el Futuro' initiative, allowing them to focus on their athletic careers while mentoring younger generations.

The initiative aims to support 5,000 professional boxers and bring training to 100,000 children and adolescents in community gyms across Mexico. Torres underlined the importance of this program in promoting sports among youth as a means of fostering discipline, teamwork, and resilience. The program will be rolled out in stages nationwide, inviting families to visit the 'Jóvenes Construyendo el Futuro' website for more information and to check for available opportunities in their communities.

By promoting sports, the government is hoping to provide alternatives to at-risk youth and encourage healthier lifestyles among children and adolescents. The 'Boxing for Peace' program represents a significant investment in the future of Mexican youth, emphasizing that access to sports can lead to life-changing opportunities and contribute positively to society. Torres' initiative aims not only to support athletes but also to create a constructive environment for millions of young people throughout the country.
