Our mission is one comunity were everybody feels safe and happy. The goal of the public institution “Hope For Football” is to help Lithuanian youth to grow and adapt in a changing and cosmopolitan world. We strive to develop healthy living habits through sport and religious ideals. Our team unites cultures of two countries. Italian and Lithuanian. The founder of the organization, Stefano Piciulin, believes that football sports can teach you how to work as a team and become a community that cares, supports and helps you find the right path for children without parental support.

Activities started in 2013 in Kaunas. Hope For Football volunteers visited orphanages and day care centers. Organized football training, Italian language classes. Organized pizza baking holidays. During this period, around 100 children and volunteers, mainly Erasmus students from around the world, participated in the activities. The children had the opportunity to communicate in English. We are grateful to all our volunteers.
