Cultural Exchange

San Bruno Youth Soccer Cultural Exchange Program

San Bruno Lowen has been instrumental in providing the opportunity for San Bruno youth to participate in our cultural exchange program since 1979. Little did we know that a single telephone call from Los Angeles in July 1979 would be the beginning of a long-term dynamic cultural exchange program that has now endured for twenty years. The cost of this program has risen substantially over the years, thus San Bruno Lowen helped to organize SBYSCE in 1990 to support teams and athletes and give them the opportunity to participate in this program at all levels.

As you can see from our history attached, our teams have had the opportunity to visit and host teams from other countries and states all over the world. Volunteer parents and adults who have dedicated themselves to continuing this program run this program. Without their dedication none of this would be possible. Through a variety of fundraising programs and dedicated players and families we have developed a program which we hope will continue for years.

The continuation of this program will teach our youth that no matter where one is from that through soccer a feeling of friendship and understanding does exist and through this exchange program we can bring all people closer together. This is a program that will never be forgotten by the youth or adults who have participated.
