Cultural Exchange Through Soccer

Cultural Exchange Through Soccer (CETS) started in 2003 as a neighborhood-based, community-building effort in the Elm Park Community School neighborhood, in the heart Worcester. Its main goal has been youth leadership development and its main vehicle is soccer. CETS has grown into a city-wide force producing an amazing pool of young leaders, putting on the most diverse annual large event in Worcester, hosting a youth soccer tournament, running an afterschool soccer program for ELL students, and advocating for equal access to athletic facilities.
