Today I sit down with Ben Levey,
the Founder and Executive Director of The Final Third Foundation (F3) and The
Likoni Community Football League (LCFL).
From a young age, Ben heard a whisper
that “something’s not right in the world”, and he felt called to help. That whisper lead him to one of the poorest regions in Eastern Africa of Mombasa, Kenya. There Ben worked with local soccer coaches to form an organization that
supports hundreds of children each year through the power of the game.
While overseeing the LCFL from abroad, Ben brought his passion for sport and development back home to Columbus, Ohio. He has founded, managed and operated several sports and development nonprofit organizations, events and programs, including F3 Soccer & Literacy Program, F3 Environmental Awareness Program, Columbus Nations
Cup, Columbus East FC, and Power of Play events. Ben is also the Director of Columbus East Soccer Association. Ben and the F3 team hope to develop and expand on its current programs, events, and projects to increase the number of
children and communities they can positively impact in Columbus, Ohio, Mombasa, Kenya, and other areas of the world.
