Hundreds of refugee families are resettled in the DMV area every month. Having endured a lot already, there remain many challenges and adjustments for these families as they rebuild their lives here in America. Soccer is one of very few familiar things for newly resettled kids—and they LOVE to play! If you can smile, clap and high-five, then we have a role for you! Next summer, we will partner with Champions in Action DC to host a five-day soccer camp specifically for refugee kids (U-14) in Maryland. Soccer or sport experience is highly recommended but not essential, as we will need volunteers to make lunches, run activities and build vital relationships with the kids. Camp will run Monday through Friday from 8:30a to 1p. No overnights necessary.
