Mission and programs · 2024

Mission

WE BELIEVE IN COMMUNITY EMPOWERMENT THROUGH SOCCER. OUR MISSION IS TO WORK WITH KENSINGTON AREA YOUTH AND FAMILIES TO PROVIDE POSITIVE, HEALTHY, AND ENJOYABLE YOUTH SOCCER ACTIVITIES WHILE BUILDING TEAMWORK, LEADERSHIP, AND COMMUNITY.

  • After School Soccer and Enrichment: Our after-school programs bring soccer and enrichment right to the students, at their neighborhood schools, breaking down a key barrier to participation, so that families that are not able to provide transportation or other support, can still participate. Children experience the positive effect of group activity in a familiar, safe welcoming setting, supervised by caring coach-mentors. They set goals, challenge themselves, and are supported in overcoming set-backs. We connect those families who want more involvement to our community- based programs and our organization-wide enrichment events and activities. Our after-school programs have a special emphasis on literacy and nutrition through our Soccer Athletes Value Education (SAVE) curriculum. The goal of SAVE is to help children build healthy habits and excel in academics from an early age, to promote future success. We implement this by having nutrition-focused activities during practices and frequently giving out free books. We also offer a full-day summer camp, where soccer is combined with a variety of daily enrichment activities, and visits to museums, the Franklin Institute, and other cultural and educational institutions.
