Values
Equity: We recognize that the pay-to-play system of youth soccer in the United States is inherently inequitable. We believe in the potential of every young athlete, and we believe every one of them deserves a chance to reach that potential.
Inclusion: We foster and promote a culture where all youth feel welcome and are provided with an opportunity to develop their soccer skills regardless of ability, family income, national origin, race/ethnicity, gender expression, and sexual orientation.
Diversity: We recognize that diversity is a strength, and that we must consistently work to eliminate structural barriers for youth who are traditionally underrepresented in U.S. youth soccer.
Integrity: We are committed to transparency and the highest levels of accountability to our supporters, donors, partners and the groups we serve.
Community: We recognize and honor the power of community through our support for local youth, and in turn we thrive on support from regional businesses and donors who share our values.
Aliis Vivere: We honor Gisele Currier, for whom the fund was named, by emulating her “live for others” spirit in all that we do.
