Participation within Rap-aid youth gives these young people lots of opportunities, including creating platforms for them to reach their full potential in football/sports, creating pathway and providing exit rout in other area of sports.

 

Underlying principles that guides our Mission, Vision and Values

So many young people have parents who either spend lots of time working hard trying to make ends meet, or parents with very little income, and so supporting a child playing sports is not always on the top of their list. In order, to ensure that these young people do not miss out on the early phases of their development, we have look ahead, understand the trends and forces that would shape their future and move swiftly to prepare them for what is to come. We plan to get ready for tomorrow today by creating youth football club and sport programs in Edmonton and Tottenham areas with aim to engage and to increase both participation and opportunities for young people from disadvantage communities through equality and fairness within enjoyable learning environments.
