CHANGING LIVES THROUGH
STREET FOOTBALL
|
YO! STREET ZONE CIC is a Margate-based community organisation, providing detached street football youth work to enrich and change the lives of disadvantaged and marginalised young people. We deliver doorstep youth sessions in the most deprived areas of Thanet, engaging young people aged 12–25, most from Black and ethnic minority backgrounds, including refugees. All our sessions encourage positive core values and life skills, raising aspirations and life chances by enabling young people to be more confident and creative with the ball - and in life. Our work breaks down barriers, tackles inequalities and empowers young people to achieve brighter futures.
