Dear Friends,
We are living and working in a time of great transition in our communities and as a humanity. Global displacement soars above 100 million people. Millions of students struggle to recover from interrupted education during the Covid-19 pandemic. We are living in a time of profound changes in the way we welcome and connect with one another, the way we deliver education, and the role that sport plays in society.
In soccer, transition looks like opportunity. A team bursts out of a vulnerable moment with strength and speed, charging down the field with confidence and hope. Throughout this Annual Report, you will find the story of a year of tremendous resilience, learning, and innovation at Soccer Without Borders. None of this would be possible without the hard work and investment of staff, volunteers, board members, and supporters. Thank you all!
It is with bittersweet joy that I invite you to read our 2022 Annual Report, the last under my tenure as Executive Director. I know that the next chapter of SWB's story will be the most impactful one yet, and we look forward to introducing you to our new Executive Director in the weeks to come!
Sincerely,
Mary Connor
Co-Founder & Executive Director
