It’s About More than Soccer. It’s About Growing Up.

Soccer brings people together. On and off the field, a team is a community you can trust. A place to belong and learn important life skills.

Our Mission

At Box2Box, we use soccer as a tool to empower refugees and new American students to become leaders, independent thinkers, and high-achieving scholars. Our programs focus on English proficiency, self-confidence, and holistic, trauma-informed support. Together with our volunteers and partners, we’re building a lifelong community wholly invested in each student — from middle and high school and beyond.
