The Associação Cristã de Moços do Rio Grande do Sul (ACM RS) supports societal transformation and promotes a life of love, justice and peace. Its Fútbol Callejero activities develop young participants’ conflict resolution skills and promote values such as respect, cooperation, solidarity, gender equality and healthy living. Through football, participants also develop their personal social skills.

ACM RS runs five centres in disadvantaged communities throughout Porto Alegre, where children often grow up facing problems such as drug abuse, alcoholism and domestic violence. ACM RS’s activities help young people develop into responsible leaders in the projects and in society.
