Project GOAL

Inner-city school children in the United States are often faced with obstacles pertaining to financial constraints, language barriers, and a lack of adequate transportation. A large number of inner-city students are often not fluent in English and face communication barriers that deter them from following school classes and receiving an education.

Project G.O.A.L. (Greater Opportunities for Athletes to Learn) provides an after-school programme that uses football to improve academic performance among young people and help them realise their potential.

Training sessions are combined with academic tutoring, as well as health and nutritional information, exposing the children and their families to models of positive healthy lifestyles
