EMPOWERING
THROUGH
PLAY.
Play4More puts high-quality soccer balls directly into the hands of kids living in poverty, kids who show up to play and walk away with something bigger than a game.
Students Are Already Changing the World, One Game at a Time.
Play4More Campus Chapters equip student groups, athletic teams, and local nonprofits to run soccer camps for vulnerable kids at home and abroad. Each fall, chapters host a funded activity. Each spring, they fundraise for the global mission.
A Scholarship Breaks a Cycle a Stipend Can’t.
Play4More Hope Scholarships fund higher education and vocational training for vulnerable youth in the U.S. and abroad, in partnership with Abilene Christian University, Restore University (Uganda), and George Benson Christian College (Zambia).
Sometimes the Safest Place a Kid Knows Is a Soccer Field.
Play4More runs soccer camps at home and abroad, many through our partnership with Love Does, building belonging, mentorship, and faith into every session.
