Community Development Intern (f/m/d) At streetfootballworld

ABOUT COMMON GOAL

Common Goal’s vision is to maximize football’s contribution to people and planet by 2030. We operate within an ecosystem of leadership, solution providers and across all industry stakeholders to build the biggest ‘football team’ to move from intent to action and collectively tackle the challenges of our times.

Over the past 25 years, alongside 100+ of the most impactful community organisations in the streetfootballworld network and at the intersection of football and social entrepreneurship, we have learned how football enables and accelerates personal and community transformation. In 2017, we started a pro-athlete driven movement to build a solid bridge between football for good and the football industry. The ambition is to embed a 1% contribution across all stakeholders and, together, magnify its impact.

To date, around 200 professional athletes and managers from over 40 countries, such as Serge Gnabry, Pernille Harder, Megan Rapinoe, Paulo Dybala, Juan Mata, Julian Nagelsmann, Casey Stoney and Jürgen Klopp, as well as institutional leaders such as UEFA President Aleksander Čeferin, iconic former players like Eric Cantona as well as professional clubs, such as FC Nordsjælland, have joined the movement, committing at least 1% of their earnings.

We are gearing up for the next ten years, which will be a decade of action with great opportunities to mobilize even more. If you believe that the time to act is now, you’re in for radical team play and you believe that football can do better, we’d love to hear from you.
