RED DEPORTE
Red Deporte was founded in 1999, being a pioneering NGO in the field of sport for development and peace at an international level.
The origin of our entity is in Zambia, in 1997, in a program for the integration of girls orphaned by HIV-AIDS, using sport daily as a recreational and educational tool in the community.
In 1999 our entity was registered in Spain and we soon began to carry out our first development cooperation programs in Sierra Leone and Nicaragua. Professionals from international development cooperation, sports and education, among others, progressively joined.
In 2002 we began to enhance our awareness-raising work in Spain and in 2004 to work on integration and intercultural programs. In 2003 our work in the United States began, by registering and obtaining 501(c) status.
Thanks to the support of many people and institutions, Red Deporte has made a significant contribution in recent years to promoting social change, in more than 20 countries; with the best pages still to be written.
TEAM
Our team is made up of committed individuals convinced of the value of sport as a tool for social change. Our permanent team includes experts in sport for development, program management, capacity building, and social intervention, especially in child protection and youth development. Our team also includes managers in communications, administration, and volunteer coordination, among other areas.
Volunteers form the human foundation of our organization. The term “volunteers” also includes interns and university students. Red Deporte brings together people from a wide variety of fields such as sports, education, health, social integration, basic construction, and research. Volunteering takes place both in our offices in Spain and in the programs carried out in developing countries. Support areas such as administration, management, communications, and event development also include numerous support volunteers.
If you are interested in taking part in Red Deporte’s activities, you can find detailed information in the volunteering section.
