Two-Six Project
The Two-Six Project supports historically under-resourced youth and communities through intentional exposure, education, and community activation to foster leadership, creativity, and advocacy. Led by a dynamic team of young professionals, the project is empowering the next generation of leaders through innovative, community-driven initiatives. Through multiple programs our organization empowers hundreds of youth through year-round leadership development. Our pillar program, The Emerging Leaders Program, is a leadership, character and professional development exposure opportunity designed for under-resourced high school student athletes. Selected students complete year-round projects within bi-monthly in person by expert professionals within the Two-Six Project network in a day-long immersive experience.
As a 2026 MLS Hometown Hero, former collegiate soccer player, and current soccer coach, it is a blessing to be recognized because soccer is a sport that changed my life. The love that I have for the game and the love the game has for me has taught me structure, discipline, and the importance of community. The Two-Six Project is passionate about helping high school student athletes in the Emerging Leaders Program find their path, exposing them to opportunities and providing access to environments using sports as a vehicle to get there.
