iACT is returning to Armenia on April 18th to use the power of sport to support the social and emotional well-being of children and youth affected by the war in Artsakh.
With the support of the Aurora Humanitarian Initiative, iACT is partnering with Girls of Armenia Leadership Soccer (GOALS) to provide the Refugees United Soccer Academy training to their network of coaches. From this network of coaches, we'll be selecting and employing four new Academy coaches to adapt and implement the iACT program for children in their communities.
Help Armenian coaches create spaces where children can heal and thrive, experience the joy of sport, and shape a more peaceful future we all share. It costs $1,000 to sponsor all of the materials needed to launch one Refugees United Soccer Academy. On this trip, we will be bringing materials for four new Academies. Please chip in!
With your support we will be able to:
- Train 25 men and women Armenian coaches
- Provide soccer equipment and resources for 4 new Academies
- Hire 4 new Academy coaches
- Sustain the livelihoods of the hired Academy coaches: Nelli, Anush, and Sergio
- Provide ongoing training, support, and connection for coaches, players, and their communities
- Advance gender equity in sport
