Next week, more than 70 inspirational youngsters from 18 cities around the world, including six from New York City community programs, are set for a life-changing experience at Manchester City FC.
City Football Group’s (CFG) global community work will take center stage as the City Football Academy in Manchester opens its doors for the annual Cityzens Giving Young Leaders Summit.
Young Leaders Summit 2017
Official Cityzens Giving Young Leader Summit Partner, Etihad Airways, is generously connecting our young people by flying them from 10 project destinations to Manchester, which for many, will be their very first experience of international travel.
This year Manchester City FC will welcome returning leaders from Manchester, New York, Melbourne, Beijing, Bandung, Kolkata, Sao Paulo and Mexico City who will be traveling to the Peak District this week for an intensive training program as they prepare to co-deliver the summit with City in the Community coaches.
These experienced young leaders will then welcome the latest additions to City Football’s global community family Los Angeles, Guangzhou, Bangkok, Washington, Dubai, Cape Coast, Barranquilla, Cape Town and Kuala Lumpur.
Along with the coaches, they will use their knowledge and expertise gained over the years to enhance the new young leader’s confidence, leadership and community soccer coaching skills.
The fourth Young Leaders Summit will enable participants from a growing network of Cityzens Giving projects to access world class training in community soccer and share learning about how they are using the power of soccer to impact and unite their communities.
