Goals for Girls is an international program for young girls that blends cultural exchange and education through the medium of soccer.

Disadvantaged girls are achieving their full potential through life skills, health, and education programs delivered through the game of soccer. Soccer creates fun and engaging environments where girls gain confidence and vital life skills that help them face life’s challenges. Goals for Girls connects girls and their teams from the United States with their peers from around the world while providing an opportunity to create change.
