Soccer Program

In a world where unity and support stand as the cornerstones of a thriving community, the International Institute takes great pride in introducing a comprehensive program designed to empower and uplift the Afghan community residing in our city. Our mission is not just to assist but to inspire, enrich, and enable individuals and families to lead fulfilling lives.

Welfare Support:

At the heart of our initiative is a dedicated welfare support system. Spearheaded by our capable Program Manager, this support system aims to cater to the unique needs of Afghan households. One of the exciting offerings is the distribution of iPad tablets accompanied by educational sessions on their usage. By empowering families with digital literacy, we are opening doors to a world of opportunities, connectivity, and knowledge.

Community Engagement through Soccer:

Saturdays are no longer just weekends; they are the days when the community comes together in the spirit of camaraderie and healthy competition. Our soccer program, which takes place every Saturday afternoon, has become the heartbeat of our community engagement efforts. Families gather to enjoy the sport, fostering a sense of belonging and teamwork. The soccer field is not merely a playground; it’s a space where friendships are forged, and dreams take flight.

Expanding Horizons:

Our commitment doesn’t stop at soccer fields. We believe in enriching lives through diverse experiences. Collaborating with various stakeholders, we are developing an array of programs and activities. From indoor games that promote mental agility to outdoor adventures that celebrate the beauty of nature, and from educational field trips that spark curiosity to serene visits to parks that nurture the soul, our offerings are as diverse as the community we serve.

Empowering Through Education:

Education is the key that unlocks doors to a brighter future. Recognizing this, our program has partnered with Claim Academy to provide specialized training opportunities. We are thrilled to announce the enrollment of 10 Afghans in coding trainings. This partnership not only identifies employment opportunities but also equips individuals with the skills needed for success in the digital age. To ensure that language is never a barrier to learning, translation support is provided, ensuring every participant’s success.

A Vision for the Future:

Our journey has just begun. As we witness the positive impact of our programs, our determination to grow and diversify strengthens. We envision a future where every Afghan individual not only finds stability but also discovers their passions, nurtures their talents, and contributes meaningfully to society.

In the spirit of unity, compassion, and progress, the International Institute welcomes every member of the Afghan community to join us in this enriching endeavor. Together, we can create a vibrant, supportive, and inclusive environment where dreams are realized, and futures are shaped. Here’s to a future brimming with hope, opportunities, and endless possibilities.
