What We Do:
We use soccer as a tool for youth development. The Soccer without Borders program combines soccer instruction and play with arts based life-skills education. Through these activities, young people come into a greater understanding of their bodies, voices, minds and communities, encouraging them to make healthy choices for their futures. We build sustainable programs by providing the necessary resources, structures and support for local actors to continue running activities.
Where We Work:
We work with disadvantaged youth throughout the world who, due to a complex variety of social and economic factors, lack access to quality sport and educational opportunities.

"The soccer and storytelling program has been a breakthough in our efforts to educate refugee children and Ugandan nationals. It has meant so much to the school, to the children and to their families."
