Soccer Program Coordinator

About IMPACT Silver Spring:

IMPACT Silver Spring is a nonprofit organization founded in 1999 that brings diverse people together to create successful communities for everyone through relationship building, leadership development, and collective action.

As part of this work, IMPACT Soccer provides free recreational soccer and enrichment opportunities for low income and immigrant families. More than a sports program, soccer serves as a space where children build confidence, caregivers build relationships, and families strengthen connections with one another and their community.
