Cityzens Giving: Spotlight on "Soccer Bloc"

Cityzens Giving is back and you have the power to decide how $500,000, donated by City Football Group (CFG) and its partners, is split between six community soccer projects across the world.

Twenty-year-old Ebrahim is one of the Young Leaders from the ‘Soccer Bloc’ project in New York City, which aims to connect young people from different communities in celebration of the city’s melting pot of cultures for which it is famous.

Hailing from the Bronx and having attended the City in the Community (CITC) Saturday Night Lights program as a teenager, Ebrahim says a lack of opportunities to connect with people from outside your own neighborhood is a significant issue across New York City and is determined to help tackle it.
