As you entered the room filled with young female athletes at Agape Youth & Family Center, one can sense the excitement of the crowd anxious to hear inspiring stories told by empowering female role models. This day was a special day for the Soccer in the Streets community as twenty young girls were on hand for the 34th annual National Girls in Women’s Sports Day. This day is held annually to highlight the equal opportunity and the importance of Title IX.

This past year marked our 30th anniversary and it was one to remember for Soccer in the Streets. Thirty years of service to our community is a credit to everyone out there including our staff and many of you who continue to leave a lasting mark on the 28 Atlanta communities where we work. 

Since its founding in 1989, Soccer in the Streets has grown significantly. We have continued to connect and inspire youth by providing better access to quality soccer programs and helping to prepare them for employment. In 2019, Soccer in the Streets continued to build on its mission, impacting the lives of thousands of youth players throughout metro Atlanta. We connected communities, built vibrant spaces, cultivated young leaders and most importantly, played the beautiful game of soccer.
