More about Street Soccer USA-NYC
Street Soccer USA-NYC works directly with homeless services providers to deliver the Street Soccer USA program to its current clients. Through a carefully designed sport-based curriculum and community building process, participants increase self esteem, learn teamwork skills, report a greater sense of purpose and direction in life, exhibit better physical and mental health, develop life plans, and learn basic financial literacy.
These results make them more likely than their peers to achieve their goals of jobs, housing, further education, and family reunification. Street Soccer USA-NYC takes the program a step further by developing a Jobs Academy which connect ready participants with employment training and opportunities inside and outside the world of soccer.
