Friends, It’s been a beautiful spring so far, and it’s going by fast! The children we serve have had a blast with Soccer for Success after school, and at the Soccer Saturdays that we’ve hosted so far. Let us know if you’re ever able to join in any of the fun.
Have a special occasion coming up? Please consider following in the footsteps of the Hulnick family, who built a philanthropy project to benefit Chester Upland Youth Soccer in honor of the B’nai Mitzvah of twins Hannah and Andrew. They raised nearly $3,800, ran a very effective snack drive, and hosted a Soccer Saturday that the children of Greater Chester will never forget. Read more about it here.
Looking ahead to the summer, we are finalizing plans to keep the [soccer] ball rolling. We expect to work in partnership with Chester Charter Scholars Academy, the Boys & Girls Club of Chester and Making a Change Group in order to help keep kids active and positively engaged with our Coach-Mentors throughout the summer months.
Beyond soccer, we have created Youth Development United to host educational programs and fun opportunities like kung fu lessons, running clubs and career discovery activities for the children and families in our program.
It has been our honor to receive media coverage for the work we do, most recently in the form of a profile in Eastern PA Youth Soccer Association’s magazine, Touchline.
Never hesitate to let us know if you have suggestions for helping us to make an even bigger impact in the community. We gratefully welcome your feedback and insights, as well as donations of time or money here.
Meanwhile, please scroll down to enjoy reading more highlights of our recent work that your support makes possible.
