About Boy With a Ball

What if the young people in hurting neighborhoods became the heroes their cities need? What if your life played a key part in helping that happen? Since 2001, Boy With a Ball has been mobilizing a global movement around this world-changing idea. Through our proven Love Your City model, we equip local leaders to launch youth as change-makers who transform their own communities from the inside out. We believe the Gospel doesn't just change individual lives—it transforms entire neighborhoods. When young people discover their God-given potential and are equipped through discipleship, support, and opportunity, they become the solution to the very challenges their communities face. The Movement Today: •Operating in seven cities across five countries •20,000+ young people launched as change-makers •Thousands of volunteers, philanthropists, and marketplace leaders mobilized •A proven, replicable model that works The Challenge: Our world is home to 1.8 billion youth, with 75 million between ages 15-24 who are unemployed and out of school. The population is growing fastest in the world's poorest nations. But we see what others miss: unprecedented potential. Your Part: Whether you're a young leader ready to change the world, a missional leader looking to make an impact, or a marketplace leader seeking a cause worth investing in—there's a place for you in this movement. Together, through the power of relationships and the truth of the Gospel, we're not just helping youth—we're launching the next generation of world-changers. Join the movement. Transform your city.
