Since 1989, Soccer in the Streets has been on a mission: give every child in Atlanta the chance to play, grow, and lead.
As a 501c3 non-profit, we’ve spent over three decades breaking down barriers to deliver high-quality soccer programs, Social-Emotional Learning, and real job opportunities through youth refereeing and coaching. And we didn’t stop there. Through our groundbreaking StationSoccer initiative, we continue to build a network of soccer fields at MARTA stations across Atlanta, bringing community-fueled games for all ages closer to home. We believe that access to soccer shouldn’t require a paycheck or parking strategy; it should be affordable and easy to reach. Tens of thousands of games later, we’re just getting started.
Improving the lives of children by providing access to the benefit of sport through high-quality community-based soccer programs.
We focus on creating meaningful and measurable change in the lives of youth, using soccer as a tool for personal growth, education, and opportunity. Every initiative is designed with long-term benefits that empower individuals and strengthen communities.
We break down barriers by providing inclusive and affordable soccer programs in underserved communities. By bringing the game to all, we ensure that every child has the opportunity to play, learn, and grow.
