STARFINDER FOUNDATION
The Starfinder Foundation is a dynamic youth organization utilizing
soccer as a vehicle for children's personal growth and development
through recreation and education. Starfinder coaches and teachers
strive to be an important influence on the lives of children,
as they are coached in soccer and encouraged to build a strong
moral character, achieve academic excellence, and live with a
positive approach to life. Over the next three years, Starfinder
plans to engage over 4,000 urban Philadelphia youth in various
multi-staged programs that integrate soccer instruction with
a learning curriculum emphasizing character development and academic
achievement. Starfinder goals include:
- Providing urban Philadelphia youth participants the opportunity
to become the next generation of leaders and role models
in their communities.
- Encouraging children to strive for academic and personal
success.
- Connecting diverse groups of children from urban and suburban
communities to promote cultural acceptance through education,
soccer and community service.
- Providing opportunities for urban youth to reach their
maximum soccer potential regardless of their ability and
their socio economic status.
