Our Programs
African in America Soccer Camp
For eight years, we’ve provided a free summer soccer camp for youth ages 5 to 18, offering them a safe and structured environment. More than just a game, soccer teaches teamwork, communication, and discipline. Our participants form lasting friendships, connect with professional soccer clubs like Louisville City Academy, and gain mentorship that guides them toward brighter futures.
Youth Mentorship & Life Skills
We equip young people with the tools they need to succeed, from leadership training to personal development workshops. Our goal is to help them navigate life’s challenges and seize new opportunities.
Education & Community Building
Through educational initiatives, cultural events, and community service projects, we promote learning and unity. We believe in fostering an environment where every child feels seen, heard, and empowered.
