Dear Friends, Picture a perfect passing sequence. The ball whizzes from player to player, each handling it with care and responsibility before sending it on to the next, trusting they’ll do the same. By the time the ball finds the back of the net, there is no one to credit: a true team effort. Moments like these speak to us not just because of the outcome, but because the connection between individuals working toward a common purpose is simply beautiful. What would it be like if communities, nations, the world, were connected like that? I see that kind of beauty in our programs every day. Youth, coaches, and families from more than 45 countries set aside differences of race, culture, gender, religion, sexual orientation, economic means, and athletic ability and open themselves up to meaningful connection. From there, greatness ensues. A young refugee man from Eritrea earns an academic and athletic college scholarship. A woman from one of the poorest barrios in her Nicaraguan city travels abroad. A college athlete gives back, inspiring a team of middle-school immigrants to set high goals. A young girl from Burma speaks to her coach in English for the first time. A coach convinces a teenager on the verge of dropping out to try again, stopping a downward spiral before it starts.

When we are meaningfully connected, we raise each other up.

Powerful moments like these examples from 2013 are born out of the deep connections fostered in our programs. This year, the median tenure of an SWB Head Coach was 2 years and 10 months. Many participants in core programs have been with us for four years or more. That’s thousands of hours of connection we’ve tried to capture in these pages. We are proud to lead the way in programming for newcomer refugee, asylee, and immigrant youth in the U.S., and engaging girls from all cultural backgrounds in the U.S. and around the world. Looking ahead to 2014, we aim to deepen our impact in these two areas in particular. Most importantly, we know that it is SWB’s connection to you, our community of support, that truly makes this effort possible. Thank you for your continued investment in SWB youth. Together, we can build a more inclusive, connected world.

Sincerely, Mary McVeigh Executive Director


OUR APPROACH The Soccer Without Borders’ Program Rubric sets 122 specific targets across 20 categories to create an optimum environment to foster growth, inclusion and personal success. For team coaches, this takes the form of a ”Complete Season Checklist,” a living resource that provides a comprehensive snapshot of the season, and ensures that every SWB youth receives an equal, high level of personal attention. The checklist establishes the frequency and type of activities during a finite period, prioritizing individual feedback and personalized support for every participant. These activities directly relate to outcomes that are critical for under-served youth: Academic Inter-cultural Achievement Relationships Goal setting

BALTIMORE, MD

SWB CORE PROGRAM

SWB BALTIMORE = ACADEMIC ENRICHMENT Our Method:

SWB Baltimore understands that newcomers can succeed academically when given the resources and support needed to be college-ready. Emphasizing that our participants are people first, students second, and athletes third, helps participants achieve their goals. 67 newcomer youth from 18 countries are a part of the SWB Baltimore out-of-school time academic enrichment program that utilizes the classroom to: •  conduct level-appropriate lessons for ESOL (English for Speakers of Other Languages) students. •  facilitate workshops on topics ranging from standardized test preparation, to college-readiness and financial aid. •  organize college and university visits and tours. •  provide academic assistance through tutors and mentors.

Impact:

SWB SEASONAL PROGRAM

GREELEY, CO

SWB GREELEY = FRIENDSHIP Our Method: Refugees from East Africa and Burma living in Greeley, Colorado are isolated by their language, their customs, their dress, and the challenge of navigating life in America. Though geographically just miles apart, the daily life of the refugee community in Greeley can feel like a whole separate world from that experienced by the families and participants of the Colorado Storm. Together, SWB Greeley and the Colorado Storm have created pathways to growth, inclusion, and personal success for more than 100 refugee youth, largely from Somalia and Burma, building meaningful friendships between participants and their families, and the coaches and community members working to support them.

The year ahead: SWB Greeley is poised to become a core program in 2014, focusing on: •  Transitions: As middle school students graduate, the program aims to provide more comprehensive programming at the high school level. Likewise, it will pilot elementary school programming to expose youth to SWB before middle school. • Integration: With the primary program partner, the Colorado Storm, SWB Greeley is innovating ways to integrate SWB youth with this mainstream youth soccer club through collaborative events and play days. • Depth: Additional winter and summer programming will provide opportunities to program youth year-round.


SWB SEASONAL PROGRAMS

LOS ANGELES & NEW YORK 2013 Highlights: •  Strengthened partnerships with Brooklyn International High School and the International Rescue Committee, including the addition of mid-week sessions at Brooklyn International HS. •  47 refugee youth from 7 countries attended practices in Fall 2013. •  Regular participation increased by 33% from Spring to Fall.

SWB camps and clinics utilize condensed versions of our year-round program activities, during key periods of transition and down-time for youth. They enable SWB to expand its reach and plant seeds for potential future programming. An average SWB camp offers youth 12-15 hours of programming in one week. Some SWB camps stand alone, while others compliment core or seasonal programs.


CAMPS & CLINICS 2013 marked the second summer of programming at SWB Chicago. There, SWB partners with local, refugee-serving non-profits including: Refugee One, Catholic Charities, Pan African Association and World Refugee Day-Chicago Committee, to offer free summer activities to boys ages 8-13. These partnerships helped to make the summer of 2013 a great success for SWB Chicago as youth participation increased more than 50% from 2012 and 80% of youth who participated in 2012’s camp returned in 2013.

BOARD OF DIRECTORS & ADVISORS Board of Advisors Ann Cook Tim Cross Manish Doshi Greg Lalas Simon Levett Jeff McIntyre John O’Brien Lissette Rodriguez Melissa Roth

Dear Friends, I’ve always believed in the power of sport to create positive change. There are so many life lessons to be gained: being a part of a team, believing in something larger than yourself, working hard, learning from your wins and losses. Yet, what motivated me to say yes to joining this Board was not simply their mission, but how they approach their work and why. As the newest member to the Board, I had much to learn about SWB’s programs, successes, progress and plans. In my first month, I had the opportunity to speak with representatives from every SWB program. With every interview, I became more impressed by people SWB attracts, the depth of thought in their programs, and the impact they are making. Phil Jackson once noted, “good teams become great ones when they trust each other enough to surrender the ‘me’ for the ‘we’.” SWB’s collective success has happened because of the remarkable passion, commitment, love, and perseverance that everyone brings to their work. As someone who’s been in nonprofit leadership for over a decade, the presence of these three things: talented staff, effective programming, and quantifiable benefits are the hallmarks of a strong organization.

Thank you to local Advisory Board members in Baltimore, Chicago, and Oakland!

Board member Brian Geffert knows how to get his feet dirty for SWB! Pictured here on site for SWB Granada, Nicaragua in honor of the program’s 5th anniversary.

Meeting the youth, seeing the programs in action (on and off the field), and reading about their many accomplishments over the past year, you get a sense of the impact of the collective investments: of time, talent, and resources into the programs. Yet the scope of the benefits ripple beyond the youth, to their families, the coaches, the communities that host and partner with SWB; they all have been changed for the better. Thank you to everyone who has invested in SWB’s success. I’m truly honored to be a part of the team, inspired by the impact we are making, and excited by what’s to come. We could not have accomplished this without your support. We look forward to sharing more of our progress and our plans with you in the future.

Sincerely, Skye DeLano, Board President
