Written by on April 19, 2026

On this week’s Rochester in Focus, host Lynette Adams spoke with the organizers of the upcoming “Gloves Up, Guns Down” local event, which uses boxing as a platform to promote anti-violence efforts among Rochester youth. She also spoke with a local pastor about a digital literacy program. The “Gloves Up, Guns Down” initiative brings together young people for supervised boxing training and mentorship as an alternative to street violence. The digital literacy program discussed on the show aims to help community members, particularly older residents, develop skills to navigate technology, access services, and stay connected. Rochester in Focus is News10NBC’s public affairs show, which takes a longer-format approach to community stories and issues.
