Girls Clubs

Girls in the Game empowers girls to find their voice, discover their strength, and build confidence through fun and active sports, health, and leadership programs. Since its founding in 1995, the organization has served more than 65,000 girls, primarily from under-resourced communities in Chicago. With a focus on the whole girl—addressing her physical, emotional, and mental well-being—Girls in the Game offers age-appropriate, evidence-based programming for girls ages 7 to 18. These programs are designed to keep girls engaged from childhood through adolescence, equipping them with lifelong skills to lead healthy, confident, and successful lives. Our programs include After School Programs, Teen Programs, one-day events, and a Summer Camp. What began as a small effort to ensure girls had access to sports has grown into a comprehensive organization that listens to what girls need—whether it’s leadership development, health education, or physical activity—and meets them where they are.
