Join the #PowerOf11
South Bronx United's 2022 #PowerOf11 campaign launches on June 1! In our kickoff video, Dania, Chikis, and Franco talk about the joy, the motivation, and the sense of belonging that they find in family and in the relationships with their coaches, mentors, and teammates at SBU. Through SBU's academic support, immigration legal services, mentoring, and soccer programs, these student-athletes and their families find a pathway to the schools, careers, and opportunities that they aspire to; and they find a family that is committed to their success. The #PowerOf11 is that commitment, and from June 1-11 we are celebrating by sharing stories about the families at SBU and all that they achieve together.
