Outreach
 

Vision: Change the life of a child, so they can change the world, for a lifetime! Help them make a better world for those around them.

Mission: We offer guidance and mentorship through education and soccer/sport. Helping one child at a time.

Purpose: If we can change one child’s life, they can change a community. That community can change a region! We facilitate communication for student athletes and University and college coaches, academies, clubs, and schools. 

Education and Sport

Our primary goal is to ensure that children are kept in school long enough to learn to read and write. To encourage them to advance far enough through high school to give themselves a shot at a tertiary education or help with job applications. Armed with an education the child will eventually have more hope for a career and better future!
