City in the Community Donations

Our mission at City in the Community is to empower youth to lead healthier lives through soccer. Since 2010, we have served over 50K young people across 86% of New York City’s communities with free soccer programs promoting health, education and youth leadership while building 54 mini soccer pitches throughout the five boroughs.

We are committed to developing more safe spaces for youth to play soccer and deliver free, innovative community-based programming with our partners to ensure every child in New York City has a safe place to play, learn, and lead. Together, we can create healthier, safer, and more connected communities.
