More about Street Skills
WE BELIEVE SPORTS CAN BE A PRIMARY TOOL IN BUILDING SAFE, HEALTHY COMMUNITIES, WHERE EVERYONE HAS A PLACE TO CALL HOME.
At Street Soccer USA, when we play, we play for more than just winning or losing. We play to better ourselves, to better our community, and to better the world. By growing street soccer in urban areas and building a positive community around the game, we believe we achieve just that.
ABOUT US AND WHO WE SERVE
Street Soccer USA is sports for social change. Using our entrepreneurial instinct as well as evidence based practices, we make a measurable difference in the lives of underserved youth in urban areas and special needs populations, including homeless families, adults, people in recovery, among others.
MISSION
Our mission is to improve health, education, and employment outcomes for the most disadvantaged Americans by using sports to transfer the skills necessary so that they can achieve these outcomes for themselves. We also seek to raise awareness about the challenges of poverty in America so that as a country we can develop a more level playing field for all.
