Hello, Women's Wednesday!
Community Growth Announcement - February 2023
First and foremost
Thank you for coming out and kicking it with us. We are ecstatic about having you all join the Chicago Neighborhood Soccer community; this is for everyone! Everyone makes a difference, and the entire community is better for having you join it.
In these past 12 months, we have grown over 1,000 new members on meetup! Almost 20% of that has been women!
Special shout out to Community Leaders Shelby Ponder and Nicole Hack for working with us to make this happen
Building Something Sustainable
We plan on doing more for women's pickup soccer! To do that, we need to start charging enough to cover basic facility fees. We were happy to put a couple grand of our own money, and take that risk, to subsidize an opportunity for women to come out and play pickup soccer for the first two months.
Now that two months have passed, it's clear that this Women's Wednesday launch has been a great success!
We are excited to say Women's Pick-up soccer is here to stay.
Community-Driven Leadership
Our goal is to be community-driven. This means we want to include you, support you, and collaborate with you more.
Want to be an NBHD Community Leader? Everyone is invited to be a leader in our volunteer-powered community.
Sincerely,
Chicago Neighborhood Soccer Community Leadership Team
