A THREE YEAR INITIATIVE TO CREATE LOCALLY OWNED AND SUSTAINABLE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMS USING SOCCER AS THE VEHICLE FOR SOCIAL CHANGE.

The Hat-Trick Initiative: 3 Goals in 3 Years Goal 1 We send our coaches to selected partner communities to work with local teachers, volunteers and children for up to 12 weeks/year over 3 consecutive years. We develop a local Chance to Choice curriculum and Chance to Lead volunteer program. Our unique online mentoring is established and ensures continuous improvement.

We share ideas and best practices.

Working with Soccer for Health and Wellness and Financial Literacy.
