Verde Leaders is the feature program of 4ATX Foundation, the nonprofit arm of Austin FC. We are a positive youth development program that combine soccer with social-emotional learning, restorative practices, and mindfulness in order to help low-income youth find personal and academic success. Verde Leaders students participate in free after-school programming to build soccer and SEL skills, receive in-school support to work toward personal and academic goals, and have the chance to join a community on the weekends for games, field trips, and other educational activities designed to propel them forward.
