Start A Chapter
A G4S chapter is a branch off of our non-profit that consists of a group of people striving to help young women advocate and pursue sports. Whether it is a group of 6 people or 50, every chapter is significant and crucial to Girls4Sports's mission. A chapter can be a school club, a community group, or a state-wide initiative.Understanding the difference between a chapter and a project is important. While both may aim towards achieving one goal with a group of people, chapters differ in the way that there is a continuous commitment to maintaining a close relationship with your team members, volunteers, stakeholders, and injured athlete hospitals. Chapters are expected to maintain positive relationships to bring a localized impact to the Girls4Sports mission.
