The Urban Soccer Symposium gathers community leaders and speakers from across the nation who are dedicated to improving the field of sports-based youth development. The Symposium features two days of interactive workshops and inspiring keynote presentations focused on sharing best practices and maximizing organizations’ impact in their respective communities.
REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS
We are seeking engaging, high-quality workshop facilitators who will spark conversation, inspire attendees, and generate innovate ideas around soccer development, cultures of health, youth development, community engagement, safe spaces, and organizational capacity.
For more details or to submit your workshop speaker proposal, check out the RFP.
This application is open to a variety of presenters, not strictly soccer programmers. Special considerations will be given toward presentations that speak to promising practices that have been developed as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.
