City in the Community

City in the Community’s primary objective is to develop and grow the Melbourne City  Football Club’s existing football programs to create positive social impact within the community. The Club’s community outreach program has engaged with over 500,000 young Victorians using the power of football to promote health, education and leadership development and to create safe community spaces.

City in the Community also aims to forge closer links between the football club and the local Victorian community, with social responsibility an essential part of the fabric of Melbourne City.
