Since 1991 FC HARLEM have provided free soccer and life skills programs for youth from Harlem, Bronx and Washington Heights ages 5 to 18 years of age. The mission was to expose youth to the beautiful game in a safe environment in the community. 33 years later we have served over 12K youth built 2 mini soccer fields and have taken our brand global through partnerships with Chelsea Football Club of the English Premier League, Nike and EA Sports to name a few.

As we prepare for the 2026 World Cup in the United States, FC Harlem is even more committed to expand our platform to offer free soccer programs to the youth of Harlem, Bronx and Washington Heights neighborhoods.

In addition to future elite player development pathways to college and pro we are excited to launch a free school based program with our football development partner Toulouse Football Club of the Ligue 1 Professional French Football. Toulouse FC is experienced in exposing, educating and developing youth from urban areas with limited resources and preparing them for college and professional opportunities.

Through community after school programs and club partners our goal is into introduce 2,000 new kids to soccer through a new 3v3 soccer league and festivals for local elementary and middle school students starting in March 2024!
