Chandler soccer player wins trip to S. Africa
A Chandler teen and soccer enthusiast will travel with 15 other teens from across the United States to Johannesburg, South Africa this month to train at the Coca- Cola International Soccer Camp and attend a World Cup match. Emily Monahan, who attends Corona del Sol High School, is part of a group of teens who won the trip through Best Buy’s teen-focused @15 program and will have the chance to connect with 200 other teens from around the world at the camp. Monahan will refine her soccer skills with training and skills presentations by professional coaches and experience South African culture with entertainment and educational activities. While in South Africa and upon their return, teens will share their experiences on
www.at15.com.
At Corona, Emily is a Unity Leader, member of the Outdoor Science Club, as well as one of three coordinators who facilitate six school-wide awareness/diversity days each year. She volunteers her time by leading a Junior Youth Empowerment Group for her community.
“Our @15 program is committed to empowering teens with the tools and experiences they need to grow into tomorrow’s leaders,” says Paula Prahl, senior vice president of communications, public affairs and corporate responsibility for Best Buy Co., Inc.
