Soccer Without Borders Oakland’s mission is to use soccer as a vehicle for positive change, providing newcomer refugee, asylee and immigrant youth with a toolkit to overcome obstacles to growth, inclusion, and personal success. SWB participants represent over 50 different countries, including Iraq, El Salvador, Guatemala, Mexico, Honduras, Democratic Republic of Congo, Eritrea, Nepal, Bhutan, Rwanda, Ivory Coast, Cameroon, Somalia, and Ethiopia.
SWB Oakland runs programming for middle and high school-aged newcomer youth. Our teams practice during the week and participate in league games on the weekends. Weekend Mentors will act as a supporting coach with overall game management, including logistics and transportation.
SWB has been recognized locally, nationally, and globally as an effective model for youth development and social change, most recently winning the 2019 Beyond Sport/Dick’s Sporting Goods Collective Impact Award, the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation Sports Award, and the FIFA Diversity Award.
