Grassroot Soccer works closely with a global network of partners to bring our sport-based adolescent health programs to young people around the world
Our Partnerships Approach
Our partners include local community-based organizations, national and local governments, and international NGOs.
Our partners know their communities best, and we learn from and work with them to adapt our SKILLZ programs to fit their specific needs and contexts.
This way, we can bring Grassroot Soccer’s proven approach to adolescent engagement to even more young people around the world, and ensure that impact is deep and sustainable.
We work with organizations to adapt, deliver, and evaluate the SKILLZ methodology to suit their local communities and contexts, and maximize impact. Our work with partners often includes support in the following areas:
Program Design
Curriculum Development
Recruitment and Training of SKILLZ Coaches
Program Delivery
Coach Wellness and Support
Monitoring and Evaluation
What our partners say about us

Because of the SKILLZ program, I feel I am now the hope of the hopeless in my community.
