Using Soccer as a gateway, we focus on empowering the next generation of Female STUDENT Athletes to rise up, make a difference, and become strong LEADERS in their OWN communities. We create opportunities where there is limited access to sports and education for girls, which we believe are driving vehicles in the fight against poverty. When given access to the valuable like skills on the field and in the classroom at an early age, we believe girls gain the needed confidence, courage, and character to use their voice for change. Internationally, the goal of our 360 Sports + Education program is to cultivate a culture that has respect for an equal playing field and encourage a pathway for long-term education. We use soccer as a means to connect, build relationships, and gain the trust needed to make an impact where it matters most: the classroom. Working with local schools, we offer scholarships for girls to stay in school providing the funds needed to pay for tuition fees, school uniforms, supplies, and extra tutoring. This can also include necessities at home if that is preventing her from attending school. Partnering with companies in the US, we also help schools gain access to laptops and the internet, providing a window of opportunity only gained through technology.In the United States, our Ambassador for Change Leadership Program is the heart of our organization. Using Soccer as a means to connect locally and abroad, girls are empowering girls to become their own agents of change and are led through experiences to gain the tools needed to become future leaders in their OWN community.
