About Street Soccer USA:
Street Soccer USA is an organization that is under the HELP USA umbrella of services, a national leader in serving the homeless. Street Soccer USA creates positive community through sports around youth and adults who are homeless, dramatically transforming the context in which participants live from one of isolation and marginalization to one of goal-setting and support. Street Soccer USA is proving that sport is a cost effective way to create major social change. The program results speak for themselves:
- 75% of street soccer players connect to jobs, housing, complete a rehabilitation program or further their education within a year of joining the program.
