More about Slumsoccer
Slum Soccer works with some of the most marginalized sections of Indian society has traditionally been focused towards social Integration. That approach has been extremely successful over the last decade and we are now using our curriculum to infuse skills into our participants, making them employable. The program also looks actively to place them in jobs that give them financial stability. For our football programs, we constantly motivate participants to become youth leaders and role models.
Many participants receive specialized training to successfully become community coaches and mentors and coach educators. The effectiveness of that step has strengthened our tie ups with the Homeless World Cup and Coaches Across Continents. This year, we have also launched a leadership program for grooming future leaders within Slum Soccer; We prepare participants with the necessary skills to provide assistance to the management team in key functioning areas of the organization.
