Thousands of resettled refugee and immigrant children in Sacramento face unique and pressing challenges. Many are misunderstood in their new neighborhoods and it is very difficult for these newly resettled kids to transition cultures while undergoing major stress and trauma from life threatening situations in their home countries.

CCA uses sport to create a welcoming community and place of belonging for our neighbors from around the world and across the street as we play, coach, cheer and volunteer.

Our trained coaches love these kids and are committed to seeing our neighborhoods flourish for years to come. We believe there is much to learn from these newest neighbors from Afghanistan, Syria, Iraq, and other nations. As we unite, we will find that our sense of belonging and thriving will grow simultaneously.
