Programs
4 programs
Family advocacy and resource - our family advocacy and resource program offers esl classes for youth's family members who want to improve their skills in speaking, reading and writing english. We also offer workforce training opportunities that help our community's immigrants and refugees better understand some of the cultural differences they might encounter in a u.s. Work environment. We help introduce individuals who are ready to work to the local business community so that they can become active, responsible contributors to their families and to our economy. This program also includes distribution of food and clothing to omaha area families who need it most.
Youth academy - during youth academy we implement soccer for success, and evidence-based group mentoring program designed to foster character development. Trained coach-mentors engage participants by creatively teaching nutrition educaiton and critical life skills through soccer instruction. Our nontraditional, culturally respectful program results in participants' improved academic achievement, self-esteem, social competence and avoidance of high-risk/problem behaviours.
International initiatives - this year-long initiative encourages the global community to donate gently used clothing, non-perishable food items, over-the-counter medication, soccer equipment, school supplies, toiletries and much more to impoverished regions in ghana, togo, democratic republic of congo, somalia, kenya, and several other african countries.
Boduri (girl) group - the program's goals are to enhance participants' physical health, academic performance, and socio-emotional well-being. Through soccer, girls develop teamwork and leadership skills, fostering self confidence and resilience. The mentoring component guides personal growth, while academic support aims to improve educational outcomes. Health and wellness initiatives promote physical and mental health, teaching life-long healthy habits. Family resource offerings strengthen the support system at home, ensuring a stable environment for growth. The desired impact is a well-rounded development for these girls, leading the empowered individuals capable of contributing positively to their communities and breaking the cycle of adversity to achieve lasting social change.
