Empowering A New Generation To Consider Conservation and Preservation

Turtle Up United Soccer Team

 

Welcome to Turtle Up United, where we’re transforming the future of conservation through the power of soccer. Our mission is to inspire the next generation in Africa by creating dynamic boys’ and girls’ soccer teams that go beyond the game. We combine the universal love of soccer with beach cleanups and STEAM education to teach young athletes about the critical importance of environmental preservation and sustainable decision-making. By integrating sports with hands-on learning and community action, Turtle Up United broadens horizons, showing kids how their choices can positively impact the planet and foster a culture of stewardship for future generations. Join us in making a difference, one goal at a time.
