PARIS —

Angel City, which has made community work part of the soccer club’s core mission, has launched a project designed to make the sport available at little or no cost to approximately 14,000 kids between the ages of 5 and 17 at more than 100 Los Angeles Department of Recreation and Parks sites.

The Angel City Impact Fund’s goal, the team said, is to overcome the significant challenges young girls and gender-expansive youth face in the soccer ecosystem. Over the next two years, the team said, the program will provide access to soccer, leadership training and other skills to thousands of children across the city.
