Soccer Shepherds

New York

Our goal is to shepherd talented young soccer players in inner city New York throughout the trials and tribulations of youth and young adulthood while using the sport of soccer to motivate and guide them towards a better life.

Using the connections and resources available to us, our specific aim is to make a positive difference in the local communities of upper Manhattan and the South Bronx by providing aid and support to soccer playing boys from these areas. Whether via professional soccer or higher education, the end game for those that come through the Soccer Shepherds program is to achieve balance, happiness, and financial stability in adulthood through one's talent with a soccer ball.

"Now reminiscing about my whole career, I have a whole different appreciation for the game itself. It has evolved to be more than just a game. It's been a teacher of life."

- Michael Jordan
