Eyes Up, Voices Loud

Help us build champions (On and off the field)

Are you passionate about sports and making a difference in the lives of children and youth? We are looking for Coaches and Facilitators to join our Rugby for Development sessions!

In these sessions, we use the game of rugby to teach essential skills like resilence, respect, and teamwork. 

​Rugby for Development Mega-Session!

We are bringing together the youth from SOS Children’s Village, Balay Pasilungan, and Balay Kalamboan for a massive afternoon of rugby, life skills, and fun!

This session's theme is Resilience and Speaking Up. We need to empower our participants to bounce back from setbacks and find the confidence to use their voices on and off the field. We need dedicated mentors to help facilitate this experience for our junior participants.
