Our Athletic programs uses soccer and basketball as powerful tools to engage, mentor and empower Somali Bantus and African Immigrant youth. These programs go beyond the game. They build leadership, teamwork, discipline and purpose. In communities where violence, isolation and cultural disconnect are common, our programs offers a safe space to grow, connect and rise. Whether it’s on the field or the court, we create environments where youth feel seen and supported to become the next generation of leaders and stars.

Athletic Programs

While our current focus is on soccer and basketball, Somali Bantu Rising is committed to expanding our sport offerings in the near future. We recognize that different youth connect with different activities and we aim to create inclusive opportunities that reflect the full range of talent and passion in our community.

We plan to grow our programs to meet the needs of our youth.
