Street Soccer 945 is the first year around soccer program for the homeless and impoverished in the United States. Street Soccer 945 recognizes healthy living, a constructive use of leisure time, a community of teammates that supports you, a personal relationship with people who can help you achieve your goals— these ingredients are the keys to anyone’s well being. For people who are homeless these components are rarely within grasp. The positive power of sports, especially soccer, is a remarkable efficacious tool for delivering these components to people caught in the trap of homelessness. Street Soccer 945 engages over 100 participants annually, and of the final team members over 75% make a significant life change- entering drug treatment, going back to school, etc.
