Girls in Sport Are Empowered For Life
Canada’s leading organization empowering girls through sports and physical activity.
Every girl deserves to experience the transformative impact of sport – the thrill of trying something new, the joy of movement, and the confidence that comes from discovering how much they can accomplish.
Through our community-centred programs across Canada, we create spaces where girls of all ages can discover their strength, find their voices, and develop into tomorrow’s leaders.
Our Programs

Game-Changing Results Across Canada
Carefully vetted mentors from local communities who demonstrate diverse pathways to success and inspire girls to see what’s possible.
Our Story
A New Playbook for Girls' Empowerment
For over 20 years, we’ve been breaking down barriers that keep girls out of sport. Whether it’s lack of access or cultural representation, or simply not feeling like they belong, we’re creating spaces where every girl can participate.
The impact ripples through communities across Canada – from the shy participant who discovers her voice on the basketball court to the teenager who finds her people through weekly running clubs to the community that rallies together to support girls’ well-being.
