Support a Refugee Soccer Team on and off the field!

Mission: We use soccer as a vehicle for transformative impact, supporting under-served youth and families with the tools to overcome obstacles to success; nurturing their talents and passions by providing resources, opportunities, and relationships towards a brighter future.

The Global FC Team Mentor position is a big brother or sister that encourages and supports youth in a soccer team oriented structure. Team Mentors will be assigned to a specific Global FC team and will be responsible for meeting and connecting with the youth at practice once a week for a minimum of one soccer season. No soccer skills are necessary, but rather a willingness to cheer them on and support them in their love of the sport.

The Team Mentor must be a voice of support and a positive role model for the overall team. However, the role will also require volunteer to become aware of the individual needs and issues of the youth. He or she may be asked to work on certain aspects of a specific young person’s development, while understanding the unique challenges refugee youth face in their new home country.
