General information
Coaches Across Continents partners with local communities around the world to create positive social change in the lives of their children through the universal appeal of soccer.
Our "Hat-Trick Initiatives" build sustainable, locally run programs over the course of three years and provide ongoing program support through online tools.
Each program is tailored to the unique needs and goals of the community and partner. Past programs have addressed female empowerment, HIV and Health and wellness, conflict resolution, and conservation.
Our unique approach facilitates learning THROUGH play rather than in addition to play. Instead of playing soccer and then sitting down to a lecture, key points are illustrated within the context of the game and play.
