I feel sorry for anyone who has ever had to watch me play soccer. It’s a sport that I was not made to play. I never liked all the running, but it was at least fun for the first few years (because there was still hope that I would eventually score a goal). Hopefully my experience with the sport is an aberration, because Round Star Foundation is a New York, NY based non-profit “dedicated to extending the many benefits soccer can provide to every individual.” They do this by “providing access to high quality soccer activities, training and education” to help people with both physical and social development.

Be a Star

Round Star Foundation works on a number of fronts–they serve low-income students, people with special needs, and even international youth. The organization doesn’t provide a ton of information on their website, but you can get an overview of their Shine Program and how it “uses soccer as a vehicle to teach life skills to individuals with developmental and intellectual disabilities.” Other than that, you may want to check out their Idealist page for a better overview. It’s also where they post jobs including Birthday Party and Camp Coordinator and Business Development and Events Coordinator.
