The One World Soccer Fest needs high school and adult volunteers to help run its fundraising carnival on Saturday, August 15, 9:00 am to 4:00 pm, at Sportsplex USA in Santee. All of our carnival games are based in some way on soccer, but you don’t need soccer experience to help!

Opportunities include: running a carnival game, selling tickets, working the information booth, managing carnival prizes, helping the San Diego Flash run their clinics, setting up, taking down, and more! Receive a One World Soccer Fest volunteer T shirt! Breaks and shade provided :-)

Proceeds will benefit two nonprofit organizations that each use soccer to encourage kids and adults to improve their lives. The Chisomo Idea is a San Diego-based organization that works in Malawi, one of the poorest countries in the world. The Homeless World Cup is based in Edinburgh, Scotland, and works with soccer organizations around the world. Its American partner is Street Soccer USA. http://chisomoidea.com/ https://www.homelessworldcup.org/
