We started South Bronx United 17 years ago, but every year there is still so much work still in front of us. I hope you'll support our 2026 #PowerOf11 campaign. Maybe consider matching your donation to at least what you spend on World Cup tickets :).
In the past year, South Bronx United has served nearly 2,000 children and young adults through programs in the classroom, on the soccer field, in the workplace, and in the community. Our core program, the SBU Academy, has maintained a 100% high school graduation rate and 94% college matriculation rate. We are giving young adults job skills training and often their first jobs. We are managing nearly 100 immigration cases annually in the face of attacks and cuts to the Office of Legal Access programs the agency that makes our work possible. We are even helping register or pre-register hundreds of new voters in the South Bronx, which has the lowest voter participation rate in the city.
With the World Cup about to kick off, 2026 will be huge. Watch any game held at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey and you will see South Bronx United youngsters walking out with the players. We are being featured in several mini documentaries and expect to host the biggest watch party in the Bronx on Juneteenth. We hope to build upon this excitement to fund program growth tha twill address the continued needs throughout the Bronx community.
Please consider making a donation to support the campaign and help us reach our goal! You we can make a difference!
