In partnership with Nike, our Girls Forward program provides teenage girls ages 13-16 with a safe and empowering space to play and stay in sports. Dedicated classes in tennis, golf, track, and soccer are led by female coaches at locations citywide. In addition, girls have access to special events, pro-clinics, talks and workshops to encourage and deepen their engagement with sports.
Girls are encouraged to register for multiple sports and share this opportunity with friends, family and schoolmates. Participating with someone you know increases the likelihood of staying engaged with the sport.

Because of you, NYC’s kids are learning how to protect our environment and being introduced to a new sport for life, community volunteers are transforming a green space in need of care, and free world-class performing arts are being brought to our parks all around the city—all for free. When you support City Parks Foundation's free programs, you are helping our parks, our communities, and our city thrive.
