TrackGirlz is a 501c3 nonprofit organization helping girls reach their full potential through track and field. The TrackGirlz mission is to provide girls access to mentorship, education, and sport through track and field, a sport proven to have health, academic, and social benefits for girls. By the age of 14, girls drop out of sports twice as often as boys for factors such as social stigma, access and safety issues, and lack of positive role models. With track and field being the highest participatory sport for middle and high school girls in the United States, TrackGirlz aims to bridge this gap through their empowerment workshopz and grant programs, with a focus on minority and underserved communities. Yet track and field can have benefits for all young people regardless of gender identity and is one of the most diverse and inclusive sports, appealing to various ethnicities, body types, and athletes with various abilities. We’ve provided this four week curricululm to Making Tracks users to help any youth feel empowered and achieve self-growth through a dynamic and fun training program. Take this four week journey with your class, team, or even as a family! If you enjoy this curriculum, learn more about other TrackGirlz programs at https://trackgirlz.com/.
