about
us
Soccer for Peace is a non-profit organization based in Seattle, WA. It aims to raise funds through soccer related activities and uses them to help promote worldwide peace and help countries and refugees in need. Soccer for Peace hosts events such as soccer clinics and camps for children of all ages which are accessible for all socioeconomic groups and free for refugees.
What we do
We conduct soccer workshops for youth ages 5-14 that are free for refugees and donation-based for local families. Our workshops provide an opportunity for refugee children to become involved and feel welcome in the local community, to receive free soccer instruction and engage in a sport activity, and to experience a sense of normalcy. The workshops are led by advanced high school varsity soccer players. The participants are also provided with lunch and water. The funds that we raise from the donations go directly towards helping Ukraine - for example, we helped build a soccer field at the Cheburashka orphanage in Rokitnoe, Ukraine, 60 miles from Kiev - and also towards refugee relief funds.
