Since then, he has co-founded “Grassroot Soccer,” a non-profit organization that assists Africa’s professional soccer players in teaching children about HIV/AIDS prevention. He also serves as the national spokesperson for America Scores, an organization dedicated to helping inner city kids participate in educational soccer programs. Zohn is a graduate of Vassar College and originally from Lexington, Mass.
