Meghan Noone

founder/President

Meghan Noone, originally from the Philadelphia suburbs, founded Noonetime in 2011 after a life-altering trip to Kenya with Ray Johnston in 2008. Ray invited Meghan to join him on a self-discovery safari where her newfound sense of her authentic self and true purpose were powerfully ignited.

Growing up, sports played a significant role in Meghan’s life. She began playing soccer at the age of 5. She played throughout her high school and college years and went on to coach high school and youth soccer. She also worked as a teacher for children with special needs for many years. It was obvious that sports could help change the life of the kids she met in Kenya.

Dada Meghan Girls’ Football Club became the foundation of Noonetime. Meghan brings her passion and expertise of the sport to help foster empowerment and important life skills through team cooperation, discipline, leadership development, motivation, and self-esteem. Clean water, education, reforestation and conservation, have all become equally important to Noonetime’s vision of global change.
