More about The Goal Of A Lifetime
In FCC we are working with children and young people from the most vulnerable neighborhoods of the Barranquilla, Santa Marta, Cartagena, Bogotá, Medellín and Nuquí, using the pedagogical possibilities of Football to operate a value-based after school program for boys, girls and adolescents. With our preventive approach we aim for our participants’ physical and mental development. Football then becomes a vehicle for social transformation and the pitch turns into a protective environment for all community members to experience and benefit from.
We have reached 35 communities and have had an impact on more than 4.000 children throughout Colombia.
We are present in 35 communities in Colombia, where we have brought a pedagogical proposal to promote values and life skills through soccer.
We have trained more than 10 organizations worldwide in our pedagogical model, which has impacted more than 2,000 children.
