Every day in our community, young lives are being lost—not just to violence, but to a cycle of broken dreams and missed opportunities. The statistics are alarming: two out of three crimes today are committed by a teenager or young adult. Additionally, only three out of ten children are growing up in two-parent households. The absence of stable support systems and constructive opportunities has left many young people vulnerable to negative influences, crime, and a future filled with uncertainty.

Fort Bend County and the Houston Metropolitan area are no exceptions to these national trends. With rising concerns over youth crime, mental health struggles, and educational disparities, the question is not whether we should act—but how quickly we can intervene before more futures are lost.

The Solution: Midas Football Academy's Holistic Approach

At Midas Football Academy, we believe in more than just sports; we believe in building character, instilling discipline, and creating pathways to success. Our mission is simple yet powerful: "To inspire generations and build for success." Through a range of impactful programs, we are tackling the root causes of these societal challenges head-on:

Midas Football Academy: Providing structured soccer training, mentorship, and competitive opportunities to keep youth engaged and motivated.
Iwuri (Aspire) Program: Equipping young individuals with leadership training, vocational education, mental health support, and counseling services to prepare them for adulthood.
Houston Futures Mentorship Initiative: Connecting youth (ages 13-18) with experienced mentors in leadership, sports, and personal development, ensuring they have guidance and positive role models.
Annual 5K Awareness Run: Raising awareness about childhood obesity, promoting healthy lifestyles, and fostering community engagement.

Each of these initiatives is designed to redirect youth away from crime and hopelessness toward a future filled with promise and opportunity. But we cannot do this alone.

The Vision: Midas Legacy Complex – A Permanent Home for Change

While our programs are making a significant impact today, we recognize the urgent need for a long-term solution. That’s why we are launching the Midas Legacy Complex, a state-of-the-art facility that will serve as a hub for youth development. This facility will house:

A world-class soccer academy and training grounds
Educational and vocational training centers
Counseling and mentorship offices
Community engagement spaces for workshops and leadership programs

This legacy project will ensure that future generations have access to the resources, guidance, and opportunities they need to thrive. However, the work needs to start now. Every day we wait, another young person risks falling through the cracks.

Join Us: Be the Change These Kids Need

This is more than just a cause—it’s a movement. We are calling on community leaders, businesses, philanthropists, and individuals who believe in the power of change to join us in shaping a better future for our youth. Your support—whether through financial contributions, mentorship, sponsorship, or advocacy—can help us turn this vision into reality.

Together, we can rewrite the story for countless young lives in Fort Bend County and the Houston Metropolitan area. Join us today. Invest in a future where every child has the chance to succeed.
