Function of Organization/Site:

Soccer Without Borders Baltimore City began in the fall of 2009 in response to various state, local, and non-profit agencies that serve the city’s burgeoning refugee population identifying a need for positive recreational programming for area refugee youth. In response, SWB Baltimore emerged to provide opportunities in the form of soccer, simultaneously encouraging healthy living while developing English-language abilities, teamwork, academic success, and cross-cultural skills.

 Involvement Opportunities:

• Academic Coaches – Help students prepare for standardized tests, provide workshops, assist with college preparation, and homework.
• Special Event Volunteers – Based on SWB’s schedule

 Volunteer Requirements:

• Background checks are required, and a discount for this is offered through the Maryland Mentoring Partnership

Location:
