Young Boys Academy Tanzania, Arusha

YOUNG BOYS ACADEMY, TANZANIA

We are determined to create future role models for Tanzania. And we do it from two platforms: Football & School – and then by having a holistic based belief.

Holger Kristiansen

Young Boys Academy is a non-profit organization that through football and education give young tanzanians two chances to become a role model for the modern Tanzania.

All our efforts will be done through the holistic mindset of YMCA: Body (football), Mind (school) and Spirit (character).

Our aim is to develop the football talent of boys aged 10-18 years while also providing full academic sponsorship at fantastic private schools. The first 2-3 years will be at Silverleaf Academy (Primary), who shares a number of our values.

First and foremost we want to develop them into good members of the future Tanzania, and we hope that it could include a ticket to university or a profession in football.
