OUR INITIATIVE AND VISION

We are passionate about extending our contribution to the surrounding environment consisting of the communities in which our young soccer players and their families reside. We are grateful to our parents and young soccer players for choosing DC Way Academy and most importantly, for trusting in us. As an expression of our gratitude, we are part of an environmental project to improve the surrounding areas in which our exemplary soccer players live and enhance their environmental quality of life.

OUR GOAL

DC Way Academy wants to grow with the community and with the children in the community. To thank the parents for their selection and trust, through this environmental initiative, we hope that the cleanliness of the streets surrounding our camp location will be improved, a clean community will be present, and a good environment for children to grow in will be maintained. DC Way Academy is not only a child's partner in developing soccer and cognitive skills but also a proud supporter of a child’s healthy growth and happiness.

WHY DO WE NEED YOU TO BE OUR VOLUNTEER?

At DC Way Academy, we have a passion for creating a positive relationship with both the sport of soccer and the surrounding community. As a part of generating this positive relationship with the surrounding community, we are committed to providing opportunities for our wonderful young players, families, friends, and neighbors to make lasting connections with our organization while actively engaging in keeping our community clean, safe, and healthy. We need your help and support to successfully make these community cleanup events the best they can be!

WHAT DO OUR VOLUNTEERS DO

At our community cleanup events, there will be different volunteer assignments, each collectively meeting the goal of keeping our selected community blocks clean. Volunteers will help guide and lead the clean-up event as well as participate in the clean-up activity.

Your participation as a volunteer will not only be an enjoyable experience but will most importantly, help improve the quality of life for our young soccer players!
