Job Description:
Soccer Without Borders (SWB) is a non-profit organization that
uses soccer as a vehicle for positive change, providing newcomer
refugee, asylee and immigrant youth with a toolkit to overcome
obstacles to growth, inclusion, and personal success. Our programs
provide youth who are traditionally excluded from extracurricular
opportunities with a platform for positive engagement, an avenue
for personal growth, and a toolkit for a brighter future.About SWB
ColoradoOur vision is to build a more inclusive world through
soccer, where all youth have the opportunity to reach their
inherent potential. Newcomer youth are one of the most vulnerable
populations in the United States today, facing complex barriers to
integration, academic success, and leading happy and healthy lives.
Our model is rooted in research, which helps us understand the
complex factors that affect the youth, families, and communities
with whom we work. SWB's model includes four lenses: access and
inclusion, health, youth development, and trauma-informed
practices, each derived from research that informs our program
design. Our programs integrate the three pillars of soccer,
education, and community, supporting our participants to grow,
integrate, and be successful.SWB Colorado works in Greeley and
Aurora, serving middle and high school students during the school
year, and elementary, middle, and high school students in the
summer months. Middle and high school students participate in
after-school soccer programming, along with academic workshops and
individual support and case management throughout the year. In
addition to these direct service programs, SWB has a mentor program
that matches volunteers with youth and their families to help them
integrate into Colorado's larger community and to serve their
individual needs. This position is based in Aurora, where SWB has
worked with the newcomer community since 2019 and serves more than
150 newcomer youth annually.About YouThe Program Coordinator is
