EMPOWERING GIRLS THROUGH SPORT ACROSS CANADA
Girls Forward Foundation is Canada’s leading organization dedicated to empowering girls through sports and physical activity. For over 20 years, we’ve been creating spaces where girls discover the joy of movement – and build self-confidence that lasts a lifetime.
Our Mission
Empowering girls through sport, physical activity and education.
Our Vision
A world where girls thrive with limitless opportunities and effortless access to sport and physical activity, free from any barrier.
Our Story: A New Playbook for Girls' Empowerment
Girls Forward Foundation was born from a simple truth: too many girls face barriers to participation in sport. Some lack financial resources or transportation. Others confront cultural barriers or don’t see themselves represented in traditional sport programs. Many simply feel they don’t belong in athletic spaces.
Over the years, we’ve evolved to address these challenges head-on. We moved beyond our early focus on elite athletics to become something more powerful – a community-centred organization that meets girls where they are. Through partnerships with local organizations and our extensive network of Real Role Models, we’ve built a new model that prioritizes access, belonging, and holistic empowerment over competitive performance.
Today, we work in communities from coast to coast, creating spaces where every girl – regardless of background, ability, or experience – can discover their strength and find their voice.
WHAT WE DO
Girls Forward works in collaboration with community partners to deliver events and programs with a goal of empowering girls through sport and physical activity. This can include 90 minute workshops, a day-long event, or a multi-week program!
Every Girls Forward event and program is funded through grantors, sponsors, donors, and key partners. We then collaborate with community organizations to deliver our girl-centred, girl-focused opportunities to empower girls through sport, physical activity and education. Although we have a library of program and event models, and curriculums, each offering is adapted to fit the needs of the communities we work with! Learn more about our programs here.
