Our Mission

She’s4Sports brings women, girls and diverse people together to give them a larger voice in sports through digital content and events.

We do this through the 3 E’s: Educate, Engage and Empower. Through our initiatives we inspire change and advancement of diversity in sports to even the playing field, so all women and girls can fully participate in sport without barriers.

Our Impact

Since the launch of She’s4Sports in 2016, we’ve grown to a network of 6000+ women and men who engage online and through events to amplify the voices of women in sport.

We held one of the first all female hockey panels in Toronto which included the first transgender female to play in the CWHL. Across our social platforms and events we’ve featured and shared the inspiring stories of over 100 diverse women in sports across the industry including our Black History month campaign.

We are excited to partner with Canadian Tire Jumpstart Charities, Canadian Women & Sport, Sport Canada and Ryerson (GXSLab) to amplify the contributions and issues that impact women and diverse people in sport.
