Using Soccer to transform lives

We are passionate about soccer

Atlanta Youth Soccer Foundation (AYSF) is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization where disadvantaged youth can find a safe, supportive and caring environment to not only learn the game of soccer, but build life skills that will help them become successful throughout their lives.

AYSF is committed to leveraging soccer as a transformational catalyst to help disadvantaged children and teenagers within the greater Atlanta community.

Through mentoring, teamwork, focus on school and fostering a sense of community, we are making a positive impact in the lives of underprivileged youth from marginalized areas of metropolitan Atlanta.

AYSF is looking for individuals and organizations who can reach into their hearts and their resources to help us fund more programming and more participants. The support you give isn’t a handout; it is a lifeline that will truly transform the lives of deserving young people. Our program participants are doing their part to pull themselves up by showing up every day to jump in to our van transportation, get off the streets, and be a part of an elite soccer program and community. They are doing better in school and staying away from drugs, prostitution and crime that have plagued their marginalized neighborhoods.
