The Better Together Soccer Program Taking takes soccer as the starting point and the community youth at the heart of the program. This program builds upon field-learned values (teamwork & leadership) to expose elementary school youth to new and exciting experiences and ideas!  

The Better Together Soccer Program works with local community organizations, such as the Youth Empowerment Program of UC Berkeley,  in order to expose youth to higher education. We additionally bring the youth to the UC Berkeley campus to participate in mini-lectures, which not only exposes the youth to higher education but serves as a motivation for higher-education.

Overall, these kinds of experiences can make all the difference for a young student who struggles falling asleep at night due to urban violence in their neighborhood. This program creates safe spaces for the Latinx youth to not only exercise and improve their physical health (as opposed to remaining indoors), but also allows the youth to have safe space where they can communicate and build long-lasting friendships.
