Abstract
-
This project provides G.R.A.S.S.P. (Grass Roots After School Soccer Program) students in the Salem-Keizer School District with access to Coerver Coaching’s summer soccer camps, regardless of financial constraints. G.R.A.S.S.P. serves students from Title 1 schools who often lack access to extracurricular activities. By securing donations from local businesses and community members, the camp cost is reduced from $195 to $45, making it affordable for more students. The project aims to support students' academic, social, and emotional development by providing an enriching summer experience that builds leadership, teamwork, and confidence. These qualities will benefit students both inside and outside the classroom. Additionally, the initiative seeks to establish a sustainable system for offering these opportunities annually, ensuring that underserved students have continued access to enrichment programs. Key actions include securing donations, coordinating with Coerver Coaching for camp details, and selecting students with G.R.A.S.S.P. staff. Feedback will be collected from students, parents, and staff to assess the impact on growth and engagement. Success will be measured by community involvement, the number of students served, and the program's effect on students' development. Ultimately, this project provides critical enrichment and aims to create a long-term program that ensures ongoing access to growth opportunities for students who face financial barriers.
