Vencedoras - Economic Empowerment through Soccer

AXION

Adolescent girls/young women develop their economic potential through an employment/entrepreneurship program built on a soccer-based curriculum. Vencedoras is implemented in 3 integrated phases with 2 additional overlapping components. Phase 1 is soccer based employability skills course where girls learn skills such as teamwork, communication, discipline, respect and a focus on results via innovative soccer games and soccer based activities. They also learn computer, reading and math skills via soccer-based activities. Phase 2 is a market-based vocational/technical course that also includes entrepreneurship training. Soccer activities are integrated into Phase 2 to keep training interesting and fun.  Phase 3 offers practical experience to girls via internships or apprenticeships. Throughout the phases the girls/young women are mentored by local business leaders. They also conduct community service projects as part of training. Finally, the Vencedoras participate in a follow-up program designed to support them after training.
