Do you know any soccer players at any level? Did you play soccer?
Today I was introduced to a really cool NGO- Soccer Without Borders. The founder went to Lehigh University and as a former soccer player decided to combine his love of soccer with a desire to "change the world." I wanted to highlight the work being done by SWB because so many of us can relate to the positive impact sports have on children. The mission of SWB is to "use soccer as a vehicle for positive change in the lives of marginalized youth." They have programs in El Salvador, Zambia, Nicaragua, South Africa, and Uganda. Their program helps young people make connections in their communities and develop through sport. There are several ways to help SWB and to get involved in this wonderful organization. These include volunteering, becoming a SWB Ambassador, sponsoring a team, or donating to SWB.

Tell your friends, family, and people you know involved in soccer!
