More about Girls in the Game Programs
At Girls in the Game every girl finds her voice, discovers her strength, and leads with confidence through fun and active leadership, sports, and health programs. Girls in the Game was founded by a group of women who recognized that their participation in sports as girls enabled them to develop the strength and confidence they needed to succeed as women. In 1995, they set out to ensure that all girls had access to sports and fitness opportunities to level the playing field. In 2003, we expanded our mission to address the overall health and well-being of girls including health education and leadership development. Since 1995, Girls in the Game has empowered over 40,000 girls supporting them in forming healthy habits, building their self-confidence, and developing crucial skills that will benefit them now and in the future.
Our evidence-based programming is designed to meet the needs of the whole girl by addressing her physical, emotional, and mental well-being. Programming is offered year-round and over the long-term with the goal of continuously engaging girls from childhood through adolescence, preparing them for a healthy and successful adulthood.
