Why Support Girls Leading Girls?

Girls Leading Girls is on a mission to train girls to be leaders through soccer.

We are the first-ever all-girls soccer organization with all-women coaches. In 2021, we trained 736 young women ages 5-17 in leadership and life skills. Our programs run year-round, locally, and internationally.

Our unique approach combines all female role models as coaches with a girl-centered curriculum incorporating nutrition, body image, career exploration, goal setting, healthy relationships, and soccer training to increase girls’ confidence on and off the field.

We use the term “Girls,” which refers to gender expansive youth (cis girls, trans girls, nonbinary youth, gender non-conforming youth, gender queer youth, and any girl-identified youth).

Girls Deserve Equal Access to Sports

This June is the 50th anniversary of Title IX! Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972, a civil rights law signed into law by President Richard Nixon, protects people from discrimination based on sex in education and sports programs or activities that receive federal financial assistance.

Title IX has been impactful across institutions, especially in women’s sports.
