‘City in the Community’ kick off Young Leader Training

Week-long training will empower next generation of community leaders to tackle social issues through the power of soccer.

This week, more than 40 local Young Leaders from ‘City in the Community’ (CITC) partners will come together to take part in the New York City Young Leader Training.

During the week-long training program, the Young Leaders will participate a variety of in-classroom seminars and on-the-pitch training sessions to develop their leadership and coaching skills, share experiences and gain knowledge that will help them tackle the most pressing social issues affecting the five boroughs.

The training will be facilitated by CITC - the charity proudly supported by NYCFC - as well as community coaches from NYCFC sister Club, Manchester City.
