Mission: At Girls in the Game every girl finds her voice, discovers her strength and leads with confidence through fun and active sports, health and leadership programs. We empower all girls to be gamechangers. Every year, Girls in the Game empowers more than 3,600 girls to make healthier choices and develop the confidence and leadership skills they need to succeed on and off the field. In our 25 years, we've served over 50,000 girls ages 7 to 18. From yoga and lacrosse to soccer and dance, Girls in the Game exposes girls to a wide and energizing mix of sports and fitness activities year-round. Girls are encouraged to get in the game, any game they like, so they can learn teamwork and determination, and to make choices that lead to a happier, healthier life. All sports and fitness programming includes hands-on workshops on nutrition, health and leadership. Unlike traditional youth programs, Girls in the Game addresses the needs of the whole girl, combines a multisport framework with health education and leadership development, engages girls and teens ages 7-18 year-round through age-appropriate programs, and uses a comprehensive program that's girl-focused and proven by external evaluation to increase physical activity, confidence, and leadership skills
