I have had the honor of volunteering with this organization since April of 2024. The tiny but mighty core team has big goals and the ambition to get them all fulfilled.
Providing access to sports for girls who would otherwise not have the opportunity is HUGE for our community where most sports are "pay to play."
The Empowerment Curriculum sets this program apart from other sports activities. In addition to sports skills, girls learn strategies of a good leader, how to be more confident, a good team player, and the importance of self talk.
A girl from the pilot program at Philip Simons Elementary shared this feedback - "before this program, I didn't know what motivation meant. Now I know it means to keep trying and never give up."
There are lots of volunteer opportunities with this up and coming nonprofit. I encourage others to get involved!
