Soccer Without Borders Baltimore uses soccer as a vehicle of change to help refugee, immigrant, and asylee students overcome obstacles to growth. We provide year-round soccer programming, combined with English language support, academic enrichment, and mentorship opportunities to our students and their families. We serve middle school and high school youth from a diverse range of countries including the Republic of Congo, Burundi, Eritrea, Syria, Iraq, Honduras, and Nepal.
We would love to have you join our after school programming! Academic coaches (tutors) have the unique opportunity to work one-on-one with high school students who come by our office after school to receive support on their assignments. This could mean helping with a variety of subjects such as math, social studies, science, or English. We offer this drop-in support on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 4-6pm. We ask for a commitment of one afternoon a week.
