Volunteers are the lifeblood of any community organization, and this is especially true at Osner’s FC. Our success, both on and off the field, depends on the incredible support and dedication of individuals like you who give their time and energy to make a difference.
At Osner’s FC, we believe soccer should be for everyone, not just for those who can afford the costs of registration fees, fundraisers, uniforms, and tournament expenses. Our foundation is committed to going to extraordinary lengths to avoid unnecessary costs, obnoxious fundraisers, and financial barriers, ensuring that our academy and other soccer programs throughout Brooklyn remain accessible to all.
To achieve this, we need your help! Volunteers play a critical role in keeping our costs low and our programs running smoothly. By volunteering, you directly contribute to providing opportunities for young athletes to develop their skills, build lasting friendships, and experience the joy of soccer, regardless of their financial circumstances.
