INSPIRING COMMUNITY GAME CHANGERS
Using the power of soccer to transform the futures of at-risk youth in underserved communities.
Protential Changes the Game
Protential uses the power of sport to transform lives by combining literacy, leadership, mentorship, and wellness. Together, these programs help students succeed on and off the field.
Our coaches, teachers, and mentors don’t just teach soccer skills. They help students become tomorrow’s Community Game Changers.
Leveling the Playing Field
In many under-resourced communities, talented and driven young people face barriers that limit their opportunities to grow, learn, and succeed.
Without safe spaces, caring mentors, and structured programs, students can fall behind academically and miss out on the support they need to reach their full potential.
Protential changes that.
By combining soccer, mentorship, and academic enrichment, we help students develop the skills and confidence they need to succeed in school and in life.
Because every child deserves the chance to thrive — no matter their zip code.
HOW PROTENTIAL WORKS
Protential Foundation uses the power of soccer to create opportunity, inspire growth, and strengthen communities. By bringing together schools, soccer clubs, businesses, nonprofits, and community partners, we connect young people with meaningful opportunities in education, character development, health and wellness, mentorship, and the game they love.
Soccer may be where the journey begins, but our mission goes far beyond the field. We are creating pathways for young people to discover their potential and become the next generation of Community Game Changers.
Academic Enrichment
Our philosophy is simple: “If you read, you play.”
Through the Reading Stars program, students strengthen literacy skills with daily reading support and encouragement from mentors. Soccer becomes the motivation that keeps students engaged in learning.
Character Development
Students build confidence, leadership, and resilience through mentorship and teamwork.
High school, college, and professional mentors model responsibility, perseverance, and integrity—helping students develop the skills they need to succeed in school and life.
Health & Wellness
Students gain access to regular physical activity through scholarships to participate in local youth soccer recreation leagues.
By combining movement, teamwork, and healthy habits, students build both physical strength and emotional well-being.
