Our Story
Emerging from a marginalized Somali-Bantu community, Neighborhood Athletics was born from the struggles of refugee families who faced war, famine, and displacement. Children of these resilient families, who grew up in refugee camps, now carry the torch to uplift their communities. With a commitment to impacting youth positively through athletics, the organization has expanded its mission to address the pressing needs of families living in crime-ridden, polluted low-income neighborhoods.
