Offering hope through athletics to Sacramento's refugee youth
CCA: A Home Away From Home for Refugees
Many refugees from countries such as Afghanistan, Syria, and Ukraine have experienced war and trauma and desperately need hope, especially the youth. Sacramento is the #1 refugee resettlement city in the U.S., and many have come here to find this hope. CCA offers it though athletic opportunities in a supportive community, leading to lasting friendships and a sense of family.
Share the love of God with refugees through coaching
CCA is seeking coaches who love God and are passionate about making a difference in the lives of refugee and immigrant youth. As Sacramento continues to grow, CCA envisions refugee youth being welcomed into communities where they feel at home and are fully accepted by their American neighbors. We anticipate long-term impact of coaches who are mentoring players on fields, in cars, and over cups of tea in homes where they are communicating to players that they are loved, they belong, and that they can live a life filled with hope.
YOUTH INVOLVED
In the Sacramento area, CCA’s soccer, cricket, and running programs are currently serving 200 immigrant boys and girls, ages 6-15. Our desire is to provide the 150+ youth on our waiting list with the opportunity to join our programs and experience the joy and benefits of being part of a CCA team.
If your child, between the age of 6-15, is interested in participating on one of our soccer teams, please register for the waitlist here. We look forward to welcoming more into our sports family as God provides more coaches and funding.
ACTIVE TEAMS
At CCA, we proudly support 4 boys’ recreational soccer teams, 3 competitive boys’ soccer teams, 1 young ladies’ soccer team, 1 young ladies’ running team, and 1 young men’s cricket team, enriching the lives of 200 youth in the Sacramento area.
With over 150 eager youth on our waiting list, we need your help to expand. Your generous donations and volunteer efforts are essential to growing our teams and helping our newest neighbors integrate into our community. Together, we can ensure that no refugee child who wants to participate is left on the sidelines.
ACTIVE VOLUNTEERS
At CCA, our 40 active volunteers are the backbone of our program, helping to coach, organize, and support our 10 teams and 200 kids. However, with over 150 children still on the waiting list, we urgently need more coaches to help us expand. No prior coaching experience is necessary, just the heart of a coach that aligns with CCA’s vision and is willing to learn. CCA provides cross-cultural training and coaching support so our coaches can make a meaningful impact.
By joining our team of passionate volunteers, you’ll play a crucial role in shaping the character of our young athletes and giving them hope for the future.
