We facilitate a love of learning and sport to develop passionate young leaders.
Our Story
Bailey's two greatest loves are reading and women's sports, so why not create a program that combines the two and throw in mentorship and leadership development as well?
When Bailey started working as a Program Manager at LeagueApps & FundPlay Foundation over a year ago, she saw firsthand the incredible work youth sports leaders were making in their communities. When she met a board member from SAPNA NYC at the NextUp conference who took a chance and offered to run a trial with their families. After completing Benita Fitzgerald Mosley's Why Not Me class, Bailey was able to bring this program to life, with major help from SAPNA NYC.
