From Los Angeles to Los Amates, AFJA Builds Communities In Central America Through Football Philanthropy

Based in Los Angeles but serving impoverished communities in El Salvador and Guatemala, the Academia de Futbol Juvenil Amatence is based on the idea that the power of selflessness and the beautiful game can change lives. Nominated by LAFC for the MLS WORKS Community MVP award, the charity is up for a $25,000 grant if they receive the most amount of online and Twitter votes.
