SERVICES - HOW WE DO IT
Boys 2 Gentlemen is dedicated to empowering young people to seek, do, and be all the things they once thought were impossible. After serving 13 years as part of the Los Angeles Police Department, Mr. Keith Linton made the decision to retire early and invest his full pension into the creation of a nonprofit that would be able to work more directly with Watts and South LA youth seeking mentorship. “When I left the LAPD in 2015 I thought, ‘What if instead of giving a kid a booking number, I give them hope?’” said Linton. “We need to listen more intently to the communities that are in pain. We need to listen and show up for those kids.” Keith Linton grew up in the often-violent Brownsville projects in NYC and was raised by a black single mother. He knows all too well how hard it is to grow up in a tough neighborhood surrounded by violence and food insecurity. But, he did not let it derail him.
