San Diego’s Community Character:

San Diego FC’s mission is to unlock the region’s potential by cultivating partnerships, designing programs, building projects, and advocating for policies that further advance community initiatives. We build community by instigating collisions with like-minded and similarly oriented organizations to improve outcomes for the region. We believe that when individuals are actively engaged, communities are stronger.

Theory of Change:

By increasing access to safe places to play the game, we improve the physical and mental health of community members. Increased physical and mental health raises aspirations and opportunities for participants and collectively we can empower people to be leaders and forces for positive change in their communities.

We affect this change by weaving together programming in the three focus areas of education, health, and infrastructure to unleash the power of the San Diego community. By sharing our spaces, improving existing spaces and creating new spaces, we create opportunities for the community to maximize its potential and achieve desired outcomes.
