We cherish the unforgettable experiences that happen through soccer: From SWB Colorado youth bearing flags before a @ColoradoRapids match to SWB Maryland girls meeting @WashSpirit players pitchside, these special moments build friendships and memories that last a lifetime. 🙌⚽

[New England Revolution Foundation @RevsFoundation]

Tonight’s @NERevolution Heroes of the Match are Karla Gutierrez and Natalia Vargas.

Karla and Natalia are Soccer Without Borders coaches, dedicated to creating opportunities for newcomer girls many of whom come from Hispanic and Latinx backgrounds in the Chelsea community. Through soccer, community engagement, and educational programs, they have made a lasting impact on over 100 girls this past year, helping them grow both on and off the field. Their dedication empowers these young athletes, fostering a sense of belonging and personal development.

Thank you, Karla and Natalia, for your dedication to supporting the Hispanic and Latinx community in Chelsea through soccer.

"We're glad you're here!’ 🫶

Soccer, the world’s language, offers newcomers a safe space to play, build friendships, & find community.

Loneliness is a key issue in refugee health. SWB coaches use trauma-informed tools to ensure every participant feels seen, connected, & valued.
