Our Mission https://www.girlswinmn.org
G.I.R.L.S is an all-female, community-based physical activity program that provides strength-focused, youth engagement, holistic, and positive youth development opportunities that are tailored to the specific interests and needs of East African girls.
G.I.R.L.S offers weekly basketball programs to members of the Somali community, ages 12 and up. G.I.R.L.S. is a great way to bond and build authentic relationships with girls and young women in the community.
What started as a labor of love 12 years ago has now flourished into a structured culturally sensitive basketball coaching program that has built relationships with the community it serves and partners with the University of Minnesota and Saint Catherine University athletics to provide volunteers and invite our east African girls to attend games and college tour/informational sessions.
More than a free physical activity program, G.I.R.L.S is building a cross-cultural community of girls and young women.
