A new school. A new language. A new culture. A new system.


Back-to-school season can be overwhelming for any student. But for many youth served by Soccer Without Borders, it’s more than just first-day jitters. It can be a time of isolation, confusion, and uncertainty.

At Soccer Without Borders (SWB), access to soccer, the world’s game, is just the beginning. What follows is a journey of trust, growth, and belonging. Our programs provide consistent support that goes far beyond the field, meeting students where they are and helping them navigate the challenges of school, language, and life in a new environment.


Through free, year-round programming, SWB participants gain more than just a place to play. They receive academic support, English language learning, trusted mentors, leadership opportunities, and a community where they truly belong. They gain the tools they need to build a foundation for lifelong success.


Behind every successful student is someone who believed in them. This season, that someone can be you!


How You Can Help


You have the chance to be part of a community that helps students feel like they belong. With the launch of our new Fundraise for SWB page, it’s easier than ever to turn your passion into lasting impact.

Starting a peer-to-peer fundraiser is a powerful way to rally your community around the cause – sharing what SWB means to you while multiplying support for the youth we serve. Whether you raise $100 or $10,000, your outreach helps expand access to programs that build confidence, connection, and opportunity for students across our hubs.


And if starting a fundraiser isn’t the right fit for you right now, a single donation still goes a long way! Every dollar supports youth with what they need to thrive this school year:


  • $50 helps cover league fees, permits, and referee costs

  • $100 helps provide training gear for a full season

  • $250 supports one month of coaching and mentorship

  • $500 funds a team-building event or workshop

  • $1,000 supports a youth’s full season of programming


The start of school is the perfect time to step in. Whether you give or fundraise, you’re helping make this school year one of connection, consistency, and support.
