Atleti Equal Access Camps
What Are Atleti Equal Access Camps?
Atleti Equal Access Camps remove financial barriers to sport by providing underserved youth across Ottawa with free access to coaching, equipment, mentorship, meals, transportation, and unforgettable soccer experiences.
About the Program
Sport has the power to build confidence, friendships, leadership, and a sense of belonging. For many families across Ottawa, the cost of participating in organized sport puts those opportunities out of reach.
Atleti Equal Access Camps were created to change that. Working alongside community organizations across Ottawa, we provide free soccer programming that gives young people the chance to learn, grow, and experience the game in a safe, inclusive, and welcoming environment.
Why It Matters
Breaking Down Barriers
Every year, thousands of children miss out on organized sport because of financial or social barriers.
Because every child deserves the opportunity to experience the benefits of sport, our program focuses on creating opportunities for youth who may otherwise never have the chance to participate, including:
Newcomer families
Low-income households
Underserved communities
Marginalized youth
Children facing transportation barriers
