Building Players.
Building Confidence.
Building Community.
CNYFC Youth Development Foundation Inc. was established to help ensure that cost is not a barrier for children in our community who want the opportunity
to learn, play, and grow through soccer.
OUR MISSION
Our mission is to expand access to high-quality youth development opportunities for children and families throughout Central New York. Through soccer, mentorship, and community-based programming, we strive to help young people develop confidence, teamwork, discipline, leadership, healthy habits, and a strong sense of belonging.

What We Do
Our goal is not simply to develop better soccer players. We want to use the game as a way to help young people develop skills and relationships that extend far beyond the field.
The Foundation supports programs and initiatives that make youth development opportunities more accessible, including:
-
Financial assistance and scholarships for families in need
-
Free and reduced cost soccer programming
-
Youth camps, clinics, and development opportunities
-
Equipment and other participation assistance
-
Community-based programs for under-served youth
-
Mentorship and positive youth development through sport
Our Commitment
Every child deserves the opportunity to participate, develop, and feel like they belong.
CNYFC Youth Development Foundation works to reduce the financial and social barriers that can prevent children from participating in organized youth programs. We are committed to creating an environment where children from different backgrounds and circumstances can learn together, compete together, and grow together.
Support the Foundation
Community support allows us to reach more children and provide opportunities to families who may otherwise be unable to participate.
​
Donations, sponsorships, grants, and community partnerships help support scholarships, programming, equipment, facilities, and other youth development initiatives.
Ways to Support
corporate & community partnerships
We partner with local businesses and organizations that share our commitment to youth development. Corporate partners may support scholarships, fund community initiatives, sponsor events, or collaborate on outreach programs that expand access across
Central New York.
