Football For All Global is more than just football. We help young people who are at risk of exclusion or destructive environments to develop and give them the tools to achieve their dreams.
Football For All Global is an activity where we work with local football associations to organize football activities around Sweden, to build bridges between the participants and the local community. At the same time, each participant is offered a mentor who encourages, supports and follows the participant's personal development.
Everyone who participates in the football activities gets to take part in something we call Life Class. A dedicated trainer leads the group in conversations and reflections on lifestyle, social engagement and values.
Football For All Global gives young people at risk of exclusion or destructive environments the tools to realize their dreams and reach their full potential; athletically, academically, socially and existentially. That's why Football For All Global is more than just football.
Football For All Global was founded in Canada in 2012. In 2016, the concept was launched in Sweden.
Erikshjälpen runs the concept in Sweden within our business Erikshjälpen Framtidsverkstad and collaborates with football associations, parishes and enthusiasts, who build safe environments and personal relationships with the participants. At present, we collaborate with the Salvation Army.
The strength of Football For All Global in Sweden lies in a strong and sustainable basic structure. It is built, among other things, through ongoing evaluations and continuous value-based work within the organization, as well as through long-term strategies and partnerships.
The business is currently located in four cities. We are located in Arvika, Helsingborg, Gothenburg and Uppsala and have reached over 500 young people since the start.
