Angel City launches project to help youth gain easier access to soccer

The Angel City Impact Fund's goal is to make the sport available at little or no cost to approximately 14,000 kids between the ages of 5 and 17.

Angel City, which has made community work part of the soccer club’s core mission, has launched a project designed to make the sport available at little or no cost to approximately 14,000 kids between the ages of 5 and 17 at more than 100 Los Angeles Department of Recreation and Parks sites. The Angel City Impact Fund’s goal, the team said, is to overcome the significant challenges young girls and gender-expansive youth face in the soccer ecosystem.

“We thought what could we accomplish if we went after that?” said Catherine Dávila, the team’s head of community and marketing. “This partnership could significantly expand our impact. “This is a long-term play.” Dávila said the initial budget for the program is $1.3 million a year over three years. The money for that will come not from the team and its sponsors but from Angel City’s first efforts at fundraising from its fans and the community.
