Giving youth a place to play while introducing them to Hope
We believe in helping restore a sense of normalcy and familiarity in refugee communities by using soccer as a bridge to build Hope in the next generation. Our Hope Fields and Hope Courts (Futsal) are designed to be Child-Friendly Spaces (CFS) that help provide safe places for youth to belong, believe, and become, despite the circumstances they have come from. For many youth that have come from traumatic environments, sports can be a catalyst for healing and hope when paired with a healthy community. We partner with like-minded churches and ministries that have underutilized land in areas where the pay-to-play barrier is a challenge for many refugee and immigrant youth to have accesses to play and belong on an organized team.
