Making a Difference
Through Football
Join Our Team of Changemakers
Volunteering with SCM Academy is more than just lending a helping hand—it’s about becoming part of a movement that uses football as a tool for education, empowerment, and community development. Our volunteers work closely with our partner NGO, Sport Creates Memories (SCM), supporting our grassroots clubs, academy training, and community outreach initiatives.
Nana Christiansen, Professional Footballer
“One of the most unforgettable moments from my trip to Ghana was witnessing the constant joy radiating from the children. Given the limited resources and challenges they face, it’s truly life-affirming to see how they make the most out of “so little.” Experiencing the sense of community and happiness shared by both children and adults, thanks to the incredible work SCM does in creating opportunities through equipment and football clubs, is absolutely unique”

We collaborate closely with Sport Creates Memories (SCM), a nonprofit organization that has already established 90 football clubs and engaged over 9,000 players across Ghana and Kenya.
