All young girls are born leaders.  Reaching out to girls in the period of adolescence is vital to confronting social issues.

 

With early sport participation, it promotes confidence, self-esteem and less engagement in drugs, alcohol and sex at an early age. Through confidence and esteem, leadership  is learned, practised, and refined through experience, mentorship, and education.

 

We believe that all girls and young women have leadership abilities that will become evident once recognized and nurtured.

 

How you can help.

 

The investment of an 8-10 week program that helps upto 24 young girls is $1,500. 

 

There are countless options for giving. Please contact us to discuss a sponsorship or giving opportunity that fits with your  personal interest.

 

Please consider joining us and investing in the lives of our youth.
