youth to mentors
is immense as bodies

attract youth who lack positive
mentor relationships"

Many Guatemalan youth lack
the direction and guidance

WELCOME

Champions in Action connects the disadvantaged youth of Guatemala to mentors through premier sports camps.

The goal is to establish a long-term mentoring relationship that will help set the youth on a better path with a brighter future.

In the past year, we have held our first three camps, with nearly 300 youth from the most dangerous zones of Guatemala City being connected to mentors. We are currently planning our camps for 2012.

To find out more about the organization, read the What We Do and Why Soccer? sections. And of course, be sure and read the Stories about lives being changed forever.


We are currently looking for volunteers in the U.S. and in Guatemala. If you're interested, please contact us at:
