Christen Press and Tobin Heath Visit Zambia with Grassroot Soccer

In November 2023, Grassroot Soccer Global Ambassadors Christen Press and Tobin Heath traveled to Lusaka, Zambia to see how Grassroot Soccer Coaches are using soccer, fun, and mentorship to connect young people with life-saving health information and services.
Grassroot Soccer SKILLZ Coaches are mentors from the communities they serve who care about and connect with adolescents so they are inspired to take action on their health. Christen and Tobin spent time speaking with Coaches and also joined them to witness the Community-Based Distribution (CBD) program: an innovative peer-to-peer approach to adolescent health in which Coaches provide young people with access to family planning services in a safe space free from judgment or stigma.
Following their time in Zambia, Christen and Tobin reflected on their time with Coaches and participants on stage at the Ninth Annual Grassroot Soccer World AIDS Day Gala in London.

Tobin and Christen are wonderful. I love being able to follow their stories even while they're not actively playing at the moment.
