MISSION
SG United Foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization with a mission to empower girls and women to be strong, confident, and resilient through sports, mentorship, and mental health programming.
We believe physical activity, mental skills, strong mentorship, and community give girls what they need to succeed. Each component of our curriculum and programs is intentionally designed based on this principle and guided by our motto: strong bodies, kind hearts, and unstoppable minds. Through physical activity & sports, mental health and well-being activities, and social connection, we teach our Strong Girls that they can be, and do, anything.

WHAT WE DO
EMPOWER STRONG GIRLS FOR LIFE
We partner with Universities and female athlete mentors to run programs that empower girls and women through campus and community events. We also run after school programs and have built digital programs and resources for anyone anywhere to access to incorporate mental skills into their programs. Our programs start as young as Pre-K and there are opportunities to get involved or stay involved for life! Below are some photos of our programs in action!
