We Change Lives
Our mission is to focus on community engagement programs with the aim of: Cultivating opportunities for physical, emotional and academic growth to the young people in The Bahamas. Offering access to the game of soccer and giving everyone the opportunity to play.
Who Are We?
At YESI (Youth Empowerment through Soccer International), we believe soccer is more than a game — it’s a pathway to opportunity, growth, and change. Since our founding, we’ve been committed to empowering young people in The Bahamas and beyond by providing access to quality soccer programs, mentorship, and educational support. Our mission is to remove barriers, open doors, and create brighter futures through the power of sport. Together with our partners and supporters, we are building a stronger, healthier, and more hopeful generation of youth.
What We Believe
At YESI, we believe that soccer is a powerful tool for empowerment, growth, and unity. Our team is committed to creating spaces where every young person feels included, supported, and valued — both on and off the field. We know that true strength comes from diversity, and we embrace the unique talents, backgrounds, and experiences that each individual brings to our community.
We believe that every child, no matter their circumstances, deserves access to opportunity. Through soccer, mentorship, and education, we work to break down barriers and open pathways to brighter futures. By fostering resilience, teamwork, and leadership, we are not only building stronger athletes but also stronger people who will go on to make a positive impact in their communities.
