Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

"Kickstart Our Future” is a community-driven youth soccer initiative designed to bring children together for a one-day soccer skills clinic and mini-tournament. The project promotes physical health, teamwork, and community bonding while providing essential equipment and a supportive environment for kids aged 4–12 to engage in sports.

At our Title I school, sports and physical education play a vital role in our students' development.

Unfortunately, our current sports equipment is outdated, worn out, and in dire need of replacement. By providing new and safe sports gear, you can help our students stay active, build teamwork skills, and develop a lifelong love for physical fitness. Out community goal is to offer free soccer clinic and mini-tournament for kids in the community. Our hope is to encourage teamwork, confidence and sportmanship.
