Board of Directors
Since its inception in 2013, PCFC has proudly brought together a diverse group of exceptional individuals on its Board of Directors—each deeply committed to our community, the sport of soccer, and leveraging their influence to further our mission. As we look ahead to 2025, PCFC is poised to transition from a grassroots soccer club into a mid-sized, professional, community-led organization, guided by our mission to create access, belonging, and opportunity for all.
Our vision is centered on providing high-quality soccer programming, comprehensive community services, and advocating for a sport where barriers related to race, gender, and socio-economic status are dismantled. We are committed to fostering a culture where diversity, inclusion, and equity are celebrated, and where every individual has the opportunity to thrive.
Success grows when access is open, belonging is universal, and opportunities are shared.
As PCFC evolves, we are committed to thoughtfully developing our Board of Directors to ensure we remain aligned with our mission and community-centered values. If you are passionate about serving, contributing, and helping shape the future of this nonprofit, we invite you to consider joining our efforts.
