South Bronx United
South Bronx United is a 501c3 nonprofit, youth development organization that uses soccer to engage immigrant and first-generation youth and support the broader South Bronx community. We serve more than 1,000 boys and girls aged 4-19, combining recreational and competitive youth soccer with academic enrichment, college prep, mentoring, health and wellness promotion, leadership development, immigration legal services, and other individual and family support.
South Bronx United aims to make a difference in this community by engaging at-risk, immigrant, and first-generation youth through their passion for soccer. The South Bronx is an incredibly diverse community with an exceptional mix of individuals, institutions, and agencies that are making a positive difference on a daily basis. The borough, and the South Bronx in particular, have the fastest growing immigrant population in the city. Yet, the community is one of the poorest districts in the nation (U.S. Census Bureau, 2010). Hunger rates and obesity rates are among the highest in the country. Together, the school districts perform the lowest in the state.
