At Sogee’s Youth Development, we believe every child in South Central Los Angeles deserves the chance to shine, on and off the field. Our nonprofit organization, founded in 2024, combines the power of soccer with life-changing mentorship, academic support, and mental health resources to help local youth grow into confident, resilient adults.

But we need your support to keep making this impact. We’re reaching out to you, our community, to help fund our program and give these young athletes the resources they need to succeed. Together, we can empower the next generation!

About Sogee’s Youth Development

Sogee’s Youth Development utilizes Futsal—a fast-paced version of soccer—to strengthen young players’ technical abilities, strategic thinking, and teamwork. But we go beyond soccer. Our program also focuses on:

Mentorship to build mental resilience

Academic Tutoring in core subjects like English, Math, and Reading

Mental Health Support through partnerships with professional counselors

Social Responsibility by encouraging community involvement

Our mission is clear: Provide a safe, positive space where kids can grow into well-rounded, successful adults. With your support, we’re equipping these youth with the skills to excel in sports and life, paving the way for a brighter future.

Our Impact So Far

Already, Sogee’s Youth Development has helped young athletes overcome challenges and even guided a few to the professional level—a testament to the dedication and training we offer. These successes underscore our commitment to developing not only soccer talent but also empowering kids to thrive in every area of life.

Why We Need Your Help

Academic Tutoring to keep young athletes on track in school, strengthening both their soccer skills and their academic foundation.

Mental Health Resources for emotional support, addressing challenges that impact well-being.

Every Dollar Counts

$20 helps cover transportation for a child for a week.

$50 provides essential soccer training equipment.

$100 funds a month of academic tutoring for a participant.

$250 supports mentorship and mental health resources, giving youth the tools to overcome life’s challenges.
