Hope and Health for Life Society

About Us

Hope and Health is a sport-for-social-impact movement that uses the beautiful game of soccer to create positive life-changing experiences for Indigenous children and youth across Vancouver Island and beyond. Guided by the vision of All Indigenous children and youth thriving through sport, Hope and Health builds pathways to physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual wellness through strengths-based programming that weaves sport, culture, and mentorship.

Based on the unneeded territories of the Coast Salish Peoples, Hope and Health works in deep partnership with Nations, schools, and communities to foster belonging, confidence, and leadership. Programs include community camps, school-based initiatives, the Nautsa'mawt FC Academy, and Matriarch-led wellness and leadership circles - all designed to uplift the next generation through connection, culture, and movement.

Hope and Health is powered by collaboration between Indigenous and non-Indigenous leaders, including Hope and Health For Life Society and the "Dream Team" of role models, coaches, and mentors who believe in the power of sport to change lives and systems for the better.
