Our first event
Back to School
Soccer Gear Drive
Accepting donations September 13–27
Help NYC kids start the school year ready to play. We are collecting new or gently used youth soccer cleats, uniforms, shin guards, goalkeeper gloves, balls, pumps, and gear bags.
Why we're here
Talent is everywhere.
Opportunity isn't.
The cost of equipment should never keep a kid on the sidelines. Kleats for Kids connects outgrown and unused sports gear with young athletes in our community—so more kids can build confidence, find belonging, and discover what they're capable of.
