Last year's ATL Champions League event raised over $50,000 for metro Atlanta Soccer in the Streets programming.  In the past year, Soccer in the Streets has launched new programming in Atlanta's west side communities and in the Old 4th Ward's Boulevard corridor.  These neighborhoods have some of the highest concentrations of disconnected youth in Atlanta (16-24 year olds who are neither working or in school), an issue Soccer in the Streets programming is designed to address through empowering underserved youth through soccer, character development, mentoring, and employability programs.   "This event has become a highlight of the year for many of the participants," said Soccer in the Streets Chief Executive Officer Jill Robbins. "They look forward to playing a sport they love while raising money and providing opportunities to kids who need them."
