“When we first started Soccer Bloc, it was tough to build that relationship and gain that trust with the kids. However, once you give these kids attention, respect, and you allow them to have fun with the program, you see them go from not listening or wanting to participate to actually being excited to come to Soccer Bloc. Some parents would stay for the entire program and watch their kids participate. At the end, they would be so grateful because it was free and because they saw their child having a lot of fun. When the parents ask us to come back, it’s rewarding because it’s not just the kids that enjoy the program, it’s also the parents that enjoy it for their children.

The children’s happiness is what keeps me coming back. Being able to provide them with that happiness makes me happy. After one program, a boy came up and gave all of the coaches a letter thanking us for Soccer Bloc. You never realize how much of an effect you have on these kids until you see it or someone tells you. Something like a letter might not seem like a big deal, but that boy the time to write that so that shows that this program means something to him. Things like that keep me going. The fact that I’m 18 years old and I’m working with people that are close to my age and we’re all making a difference, it inspires the younger kids. You don’t have to be a certain age to make a difference, you just have to have passion and be willing to give your time.

The best part of all of this is meeting a bunch of people that have the same goal in mind, which is to help other people. The people that I work with have become my very close friends because we all have the same passion of using soccer as a tool to help other people. I wish everyone had the chance to experience what I have through the Youth Leadership Council because it makes you grow and allows you realize that one person can make a change. You don’t need all of this money or all of these tools. If you’re passionate about something and really give it your all, that’s what it’s all about.” #HumansofNYCFC: Chelsea Quito ?
