Projects
Justice Rising Schools
Freedom Boys Project
The Freedom Boys Project relocates boys into the city, organizing new and safe living situations for them – often foster housing with a relative. This geographical move frees these young men to focus on their education. The boys are paired with mentors to ensure that they receive holistic care.
Leadership League
Our coaching aims to teach and model what it means to be an honest leader. Play time on the field is accompanied by group counseling. Both on the field and off, these young men are learning to cultivate lives of peace, taking hold of their futures without being backed into the corner of war.
Having grown beyond a soccer league, the program now extends opportunity to these young men to earn a GED and attend vocational programs, offering the hope of opportunity and good jobs in the future.
