Community - Kansas City Current

The Three Community Pillars

We have an unwavering commitment to become the best women’s football club in the world. Through brave actions, we are raising the bar for our players, our fans, and our community. Our community pillars include:

THE POWER OF SPORT FOR ALL

We believe that all children should have the opportunity to dream big and aspire to the same achievements as our players.

INSPIRING BOLD AMBITION

We want young people to have visibility to roles where women have traditionally been underrepresented, and in fields they may not have previously considered.

DIVERSITY, EQUITY AND INCLUSION

In elevating our community and all those within it, it is essential that we use our platform and the power of sports to support diversity, equity and inclusion efforts.

In the Community

In partnership with Bank of America and CPKC we officially opened the new STEM Lab at East High School.

A new mini-pitch is now open at Banneker Elementary School which marks our first school site location!

Alongside the Black Women's Player Collective and Black Players For Change, these mini-pitches on KC’s East Side will serve as a safe place for local youth to play the greatest game. deb
