What we do

Through sport, young people can develop valuable skills that will help them overcome challenges in their daily lives and improve their overall well-being.

Some ways in which sport can support this population are:

1. Development of personal skills: Sport fosters values such as discipline, teamwork, respect and perseverance, which are fundamental for personal and social growth.
2. Generating opportunities: Participation in sports activities can open doors to educational scholarships, jobs and other resources that might otherwise be unavailable to youth in vulnerable situations.
3. Improved physical and mental health: Regular practice of sports improves physical fitness, reduces stress and anxiety, and combats problems such as depression. It also helps create healthy lifestyle habits.
4. Prevention of risky behaviors: Sport can steer young people away from destructive activities, such as drug use or delinquency, by providing a safe and structured environment.
5. Promoting social inclusion: Sport is a bridge for the integration of young people from different social and cultural backgrounds, promoting equality and social cohesion.
6. Empowerment and confidence: Through the achievement of sporting goals, young people can gain self-confidence, enabling them to face challenges off the field with a positive and resilient attitude.
