About the Organization: Soccer Unity Projects reimagines the power of soccer to build community, connect people from diverse backgrounds, and promote equity in youth play. We believe in changing the culture of youth soccer from the pay-to-play model that excludes youth and impedes access to play to a more equitable system that fosters a love of the game and elevates urban soccer. Annually we serve over 1,200 youth through our FREE programs, including our South End Soccer recreational league, South End Soccer travel teams, additional exposure clinics and developmental training. And, our work extends beyond the pitch: we use soccer as a vehicle to bring together youth, families and neighbors from varied backgrounds, income levels and cultures to build trust and create a more compassionate community. There is great need for equity in youth sports, and we navigate the obstacles that hinder urban youth and underserved communities from getting on the field.
