Soccer Without Borders

Julia Cho / Playing For Change

My New Yorker piece (https://www.newyorker.com/culture/personal-history/longing-for-more-stoppage-time) seemed to connect with so many people, and so many reached out and shared with me what soccer (football!) has meant to them. 

I thought I'd use Dan's birthday this Saturday to help bring the beautiful game to disadvantaged youth through Soccer Without Borders.

About Soccer Without Borders

Soccer Without Borders Mission: 

To use soccer as a vehicle for positive change, providing underserved youth with a toolkit to overcome obstacles to growth, inclusion, and personal success. 

"Our adaptable program model includes three pillars: soccer, education and community. Our activities combine these pillars into a holistic experience where youth develop their own agency, a sense of belonging, and the skills to contribute, building a healthy identity and the social capital they need to reach their personal goals." 

Here's just one example of their work:
