About Us

At Give for the Goal, we aim to make the world a better place through soccer. We are a 100% volunteer powered group. Our volunteers come from a rich pool of youth soccer players who wish to share the sport that has done so much to enrich their lives.

Meet Our Team
Evan Mouchard

Evan Mouchard – Director
Irvine, California

Evan Mouchard is a student in Southern California.
After spending the better part of his life kicking around a soccer ball, he knows a thing or two about the fun and camaraderie of participating in a youth soccer program. Evan also has seen the rewards of working hard on a team. Evan's competitive club team has enjoyed many successes over the years including being named California State Cup Champs and League Champions of the Southern California Developmental Soccer League (SCDSL). Last year, Evan traveled to England for training and to Gothenburg, Sweden to compete in the international tournament, Gothia Cup.

Evan is pleased to bring Give for the Goal to California. While establishing the GFTG donation network, Evan has been met with a warm and welcoming philantropic soccer community in California. With the support of new alliances with groups including LA Galaxy OC, USA Junior Soccer, The So Cal Player Development Center, and Soccer Without Borders, Evan looks forward to growing the GFTG soccer donation network and continuing to share his love of soccer.

Madi Williamson

Madison Williamson – Director
Seattle, Washington

In 2012, Madison Williamson and Lexi Kruger established Nehemiah FC in Nyanza, Kenya. They organized a local effort to fund the team and a soccer gear collection effort to outfit the team. After the Nehemiah players were outfitted, the duo found themselves with donations to spare, and a soccer gear charity was born.

In 2016 and 2017, Madi expanded her humanitarian work and assisted on medical missions to the Dominican Republic, and traveled on many humanitarian and medical missions to help the Syrian refugees in Greece and in Lebanon. Madi has been working to raise awareness of the refugee plight. In 2016 she co-launched refugee advocacy group and online resource InSight, and shortly after, she co-authored the book Leaving Syria, released by Cune Press, May 2017.
