Responsibilities include: help facilitate practice, greet girls before practice, and ideally play during scrimmage or help support the scrimmage as a referee. Candidates should be: patient, energetic, and have a willingness to try and play soccer- it's okay if you don't have real playing experience! This is a reacreational team. Spanish speaking language is helpful but not required.The Soccer Without Borders mission is to use soccer as a vehicle for positive change, providing newcomer youth with a toolkit to overcome obstacles to growth, inclusion, and personal success. These progams each have ~25 amazing girls from over 5 different countries, led by incredible female Coaches. Supporting this program would give any volunteer an inspiring insight into the challenges experienced by immigrant girls, the power of team sports, and how soccer can be used as a tool in overcoming adversity. It's also SO much fun.
About SOCCER WITHOUT BORDERS
In the past year, SWB has worked directly with 2800 youth from 75 countries across our domestic and international programs. Additionally, SWB engaged nearly 5,000 thousand additional youth through our leagues, clinics, tournaments, and bridge-building events. SWB’s mission of facilitating growth, inclusion and personal success for underserved youth is made possible by the quantity of direct hours invested at our programs (average core participants spend 10-15 hours/week with SWB), and our investment over time. 76% of youth returned to SWB from last year to this year, a retention rate that continued even into the teen years, when 70% of youth in the US drop out of organized sport.
