Soccer4College - Immigrant and Refugee in Utah

Soccer4College is a comprehensive approach, culturally appropriate, internationally suitable, new, creative and effective way to educate at risk youth about higher education through a strong mentoring program that increases access to success for immigrant and refugee children ages 12-18 and their families. Program director Roberto Maturana, MSW, himself an immigrant from Peru where he was an electrical engineer with a major computer network, developed the program over the past five years. It has been implemented in selected locations in Salt Lake, Park City, Heber, West Valley, and Wendover, Utah, with low income, refugee and Hispanic elementary, middle, and high school students. The purpose of this proposal is to inspire youth to lead healthy lifestyles, be engaged students, and become agents of change in their communities.
