STREET SOCCER TEXAS |
|
Street Soccer Texas is an outreach program that is part of a world-wide effort designed to encourage and assist those living on the streets of our cities to improve their lives. Using sports as a catalyst to build trust, motivation, self respect and hope, it is our mission to help our players escape homelessness for good! The goal of this program is not to have happier homeless people. It is about restoring their human status and changing their expectations of themselves! Street Soccer teams world-wide boast tremendous success records. In fact, 75% of all players who remain dedicated to the program are maintaining housing and have steady employment or are in transitional programs within the first year! The Fort Worth program had their first practice in December. Already, the change in our dedicated players is incredible! Earning the trust of these young men and women is the first challange. After that, it is important to offer mentoring and ministry for the greatest effect and change. We cannot accomplish our goals, alone! It is only with the help of God and our community that Street Soccer Texas will be successful! Go to our "About Us" page for information about some of the individuals in our program.
