Project Description

Our mission at Dkay Henry Soccer Training (DKHS) is to empower girls and women through soccer, providing them with the skills, confidence, and community support to thrive both on and off the field. 

We aim to address the lack of accessible, high-quality soccer training for girls and women in New York City, fostering inclusivity and promoting gender equality in sports.

With over 400,000 girls aged 5-18 in NYC and a growing interest in women's soccer, there is a significant opportunity to impact lives and inspire future generations through accessible soccer training.

DKHS provides free, top-tier soccer lessons for girls and women, creating opportunities for them to develop their skills, build confidence, and connect with a supportive community. Our comprehensive SEL training programs are designed to be inclusive and empowering.

We seek funding to cover costs for coaching staff, equipment, field rentals, and program development. Your support will allow us to expand our reach and offer more free training sessions, ensuring every girl has the chance to play and grow through soccer.

Our team includes:

  • Dkay Henry, Director and Head Program Coordinator
  • Crystal Cuevas, Business Strategist and Income Generation Expert
  • Jodi Ann McGregor, Program Manager
  • Tia Thompson, Program Manager

Thank you for believing in our mission and supporting DKHS! Your generosity empowers young girls and women to achieve their dreams through soccer. We couldn't do it without you! #KickStartHerDreams
