CRECE – The People’s Team
The People’s (soccer) Team of CRECE was developed out of a need to provide youth with alternative venues to the streets. We began this project on December on 2009 and the program objectives are:
1) All children are welcome and included regardless of socio-economic background and sport experience;
2) Build strong minds and healthy bodies;
3) Develop in children a sense of community service and teamwork;
4) Diminish youth involved or victims of violence in Oakland;
5) Develop trust in caring adults so that they can guide them into positive lifestyles that include going to college.
Over 200 children have participated throughout the year in 16 soccer teams.
