Limitless Child's Peer Sports Program
Mentor, share, laugh and learn…
" As a college level soccer player I wanted to share my passion for the sport of soccer, however, I never imagined how much this experience would impact my understanding of both vulnerability and resilience. The trip changed my life and I was honored to returned as the 2018 team coach!
- Coach Katie LaMarre
We invite you to join us for nine days in India. Nine days that will change the lives of vulnerable young girls and nine days that will change you…for a lifetime.
We invite you to travel, to teach, to learn. As part of our 4th annual Peer Sports Program, you will teach young girls from the slums and orphanages the basics of soccer. Learn about India and its culture. Make new friends. And change lives forever.
You will be guided by professionals with over 20 years of experience in international humanitarian aid programs. We will be there every step of the way to make sure that you are ready. From passport and visa assistance, to support with fundraising, to cultural sensitivity and awareness, all of us at Limitless Child will work closely with you to ensure that you are equipped with everything necessary to ensure a safe, healthy, and exciting trip. And like it or not, you will be chaperoned 24/7 by Limitless Child staff members and parent volunteers during your time abroad!
"
3 years ago I traveled with Limitless Child for the first time. I had never been out of the country or been a coach, so I was a bit nervous. But the trip was so meaningful that I knew I had to return and I have every year. I have made, what I hope, are life-long friendships with girls whose lives may look nothing like my own, but who share the same dreams and goals that me and my friends at home share. India and the ASHA girls are a part of my life and I can’t wait to go back next year!
