we are at a pivotal time in our society, and the wisdom and power of female leaders is necessary in taking us to the next level of social, economic, and environmental policies. Women must come to lead without distraction or noise, but with conviction. A conviction to stand for what’s right, to act in power, and to create their unique path within the world in whatever capacity they decide.
the strength and confidence provided by sports and movement has lifelong benefits for girls as both individuals and leaders, encouraging what we need in our society to transform and evolve. VIA girls will learn how to take their performance to the highest level through self-awareness and mastery of key life skills.
