At Girls in the Game, girls learn about a lot more than sports. The lessons they learn on the field help them lead happier, healthier lives off the field. Girls in the Game Alumnae inspire younger participants. Their continued involvement in the organization helps girls stay motivated to reach their goals and pursue their dreams – just like their mentors.

Recognizing that ongoing support after graduating from high school increases girls’ chances for success, former program participants can stay connected through the Girls in the Game Alumnae program.

The Girls in the Game Alumnae Program focuses on three areas:

The Future: Girls in the Game helps Alumnae identify women from different careers and backgrounds that they want to learn more about. Women interested in joining this support team and helping to influence the future of our young adults are always welcome.

Peers: Girls in the Game hosts Alumnae reunions throughout the year, combining social activities with workshops and resources.Through social networking sites, Alumnae stay connected to each other year-round, sharing tips, experiences and advice.

Youth: To ensure that the next generation of girls have the same opportunities and support they received, Alumnae volunteer in Girls in the Game programs, and serve as ambassadors for the organization.

One of the most immediate and continued forms of support Girls in the Game offers the most recent Alumnae are college care packages that supporters and fans help to put together to send as a reminder of the support network they will always have at home. Donations of healthy packaged snacks, hygiene products and phone cards are always needed.

To get involved with the program or to make a care package donation, contact Erin Starkey at estarkey@girlsinthegame.org or 312-674-0000.
