Audio Interview: Get to Know the Alumni Coaches from SWB Oakland!

As part of our SWB United: Play It Forward campaign, we are thrilled to shine a spotlight on some incredible teammates who began their SWB journeys as participants and interns before eventually joining our staff as official SWB coaches!

First up in our Alumni Spotlight series, we featured alumni coaches from our SWB Oakland hub!

Recorded live on Twitter (X) Spaces on Friday, December 1st, 2023, the podcast-style interview was hosted by SWB Executive Director Jennifer Tepper and featured SWB Oakland Program Manager Ye-Htet Soe, Coach-Mentor Associate Rafa Barios, and Program Associate No Roah Swa.

Learn how soccer has played an integral role in providing leadership pathways for these passionate alumni, the challenges they face day-to-day as role-models and mentors, and what inspires them as coach at SWB Oakland.
