Do you want to empower someone else and
make an meaningful impact to community?
Well, Minnesota Thunder PLUS (MNTP) is a
place for you. MN Thunder PLUS is a community organization
committed at developing leadership skills, improving self-esteem
and
behavior and teaching healthy lifestyles for immigrant and urban
youth. We achieve theses goals through organized
soccer. Our community is ethnically growing and our intercultural relationship has hardly expanded. What is another way to promote this relationship than build upon our common ground!
And Our Common Ground is Soccer!
Using soccer as a vehicle, we address significant gaps in access to
out-of-school activities for youth in Minneapolis and St. Paul’s
traditionally low income, urban, immigrant communities, including
the following: lack of programs and uneven quality in existing
activities; low participation rates for girls; non-engagement by
parents, neighborhoods, and institutions; and inadequate and unsafe
facilities.
MN Thunder PLUS provides training opportunities for all volunteers.
