The Atlanta United Foundation, an affiliate of The Arthur M. Blank Family Foundation, announces a grant of $280,570 over three years in support of ‘Mentoring through Soccer,’ a joint youth program of the Latin American Association (LAA) and Soccer in the Streets (SITS).
The LAA, a nearly 50-year old nonprofit dedicated to empowering Latinos to adapt, integrate, and thrive, has been serving middle- and high-school aged youth of Latino communities for over two decades. The LAA’s youth education work centers on mentoring designed to prepare Latino youth for college and career. SITS is a nonprofit that works to develop young leaders so they can lead rich lives and cultivate healthy communities through sports-based youth development.
