Who We Are
Girls and young women have more opportunities for educational and professional advancement than ever before, yet they’re not all equipped with the tools to seize those opportunities. Some grow up in tough neighborhoods, others don’t have much money, and a college degree may seem like a pipe dream. Participation in sports can change all of this, breaking down the roadblocks to success, and providing girls with essential life skills like discipline, passion, pride, sportsmanship and the ability to lead a team.
