Street League

Founded in London in 2003, Street League is a non-profit organisation that seeks to end youth unemployment across the UK. The organisation uses a unique programme of football and education to help participants improve their health, extend their social networks and gain a positive outlook.

Youth unemployment rates vary drastically across the UK, with some regions at more than double the national average. In these regions over a quarter of 16-24-year-olds are unemployed. Street League combines the power of daily sport and fitness activities with classes that offer CV writing, interview skills and career advice. Its progression services then support individuals in finding sustainable employment, education or training.

Over the last 15 years, Street League has offered individuals football as a holistic solution to their social challenges. Since its origination, Street League has expanded to deliver Academies throughout the UK in 14 different cities including London, Manchester, Liverpool, Leeds, Birmingham, Sheffield, Middlesbrough as well as Glasgow, Edinburgh, Dundee and other cities in Scotland.
