Girls in the GameSUMMERPROGRAMS“Girls in the Game is a great program andmy daughter loves it. We’re excited tocome back to camp next year.”Parent of Summer CamperStaying Safe & ActiveSummer can be a tough time for girls, especially for those living in urban areas. An increase in violence and a lackof safe facilities for play drives many girls inside for the summer months, where they are less active, less healthyand tend to lose academic ground. Girls in the Game fills this gap through a variety of summer programs, includingour Sports and Leadership Summer Camp, our Summer Squad for teens and our Triathlon Team. We werefortunate to partner with After School Matters for another summer to provide funding for the teens who train to beJunior Counselors and those who serve on Summer SquadThis past summer, Girls in the Game Sports and Leadership Summer Camp provided an entire month ofexciting new sports, girl empowerment and health! Our Summer Camp draws girls ages 7-13 from acrossChicago, as well as teen counselors, adult guest coaches and volunteers. Girls in the Game provides bussingand lunch for our participants to make camp accessible for all girls. We had a blast during our first year ofsummer camp at Douglas Park. We celebrated all that the girls accomplished at camp at three days of overnightcamp that gets girls out of the city, many of them for the first time.Summer Squad is another fantastic opportunity for teens to engage with our leadership curriculum. Teens thatjoin Summer Squad receive training on how to lead workshops with younger girls so that they can bring Girlsin the Game’s mission to sites throughout the city and lead rotations in Summer Camp. They also participate intheir own development activities, including attending Leader to Leader panel interviews with professional womenand men in Chicago, college visits to universities in the Chicago area and field trips to try new activities like rockclimbing. This year, Summer Squad joined with Summer Camp to celebrate a summer of learning and growth atovernight camp.Girls looking for a unique way to challenge themselves during the summer months can join the Triathlon Team.This team of 10-20 girls train with their coaches to run, bike and swim in a mini youth-friendly triathlon at theend of the summer. For many girls, this may be the first time they receive formal swimming or biking instruction.It is always inspiring to watch friends, family and coaches cheering the girls on as they cross the finish line withproud smiles to receive their medals!Summer CampsGirls Served - 137Sites - 12016 Annual ReportSummer Squad(Teens)Girls Served - 31Sites - 1Leader to LeaderInterviewsSites - 513

Girls in the GameEXPANSIONCreating Leaders in Baltimore & DallasOutside of IllinoisOver the past two years, Girls in the Game has taken an exciting step forward in reaching more girls outsideof Chicago. In 2015, we expanded to Baltimore through a partnership with Under Armour. For the last twoyears, we have been running our After School program at five schools throughout the city of Baltimore forelementary age girls. According to our evaluations these girls not only eat healthier and are more active, butthey have demonstrated an increase in their enjoyment of in-school gym classes as well!In 2016, Girls in the Game Teen Squad opened a new chapter in Dallas, TX in partnership with the FossilFoundation. We trained a group of teens from Denton High School in our sports, health and leadershipcurriculum so they could go out and lead programming in their communities for middle and elementary schoolgirls. Teens also participated in a Leader to Leader interview at Fossil’s headquarters in Dallas, learning moreabout the fashion industry behind the scenes.

Girls in the GameFROM ACOMMUNITY PARTNERGirls Supporting GirlsAt the Center for Community Arts Partnerships (CCAP), it is our mission to create engaging, enriching and valuableout-of-school time programming and experiences for students in underserved Chicago communities. We originallywanted to partner with Girls in the Game because their mission and values support our own organization’scommitment to the school communities. We were drawn to their whole-child approach to out-of-school timeeducation and focus on teamwork, cooperation and leadership. In our partnership at Crown Community Academy,an increase in peer collaboration and teamwork are among our primary goals. We were also encouraged bythe reputation of Girls in the Game and their outstanding work in diverse communities. This reputation for qualityprogramming has been reinforced throughout the duration of our partnership.Girls in the Game has helped the participants at Crown Community Academy increase their self-confidence,identify themselves as potential leaders, increase mental and physical strength, but most importantly, thisprogram has helped our girls become more cooperative and supportive of one another. One of the biggeststruggles at Crown is negative peer interactions and issues with stress and anxiety self-management. Thevalues taught in Girls in the Game helps our girls work together, lead by positive example and create achange toward positive school culture.We would highly recommend Girls in the Game to other schools. In fact, we have partnered with Girls in theGame at many of our partner CPS schools because we have recognized the positive changes in our studentsdue to their participation in the program. Girls in the Game has clear and impactful goals, and their coachesare highly qualified to carry out their mission. The Girls in the Game coaches have always gone the extramile to make out-of-school time programming successful, including managing behavior issues, effectivelycommunicating with parents and being open to working with other programs and events we have going on atthe school.Statistics from the 2015-2016 Girls inthe Game After School and Teen Squadevaluations.

The response from parents regarding their girls participating in Girl in the Game has been overwhelmingly positive.One example comes from a student who was struggling to get along with her peers at the beginning of last schoolyear. This student’s mother noticed a significant change in her student’s self-confidence over the course of theschool year, and greatly attributed it to the positive experience her student was having in the Girls in the Gameprogram. Her student had developed positive and supportive friendships through Girls in the Game and her socialand emotional growth was significant. By the end of the year, her behavior issues had significantly declined andshe was excelling, not only in her social interactions, but also in her academic achievement. Also, many parentsfeel that the focus on girls’ athletics is extremely important, as many school athletic programs are still heavilymale-focused and male-dominated.One of the best aspects of Girls in the Game programming is their focus on building leadership skills. Thisprepares girls to become positive role models for their peers and in the community. Many teachers havecommented that students who have participated in Girls and the Game are more likely and willing to participatein class. They are confident in their ability to be group leaders, and to voice their opinions. One of the greatestimpacts I have witnessed from Girls in the Game participants is their ability to stand up for things theysee as unjust, especially girl-to-girl bullying.Our experience with Girls and the Game has been overwhelmingly positive, enriching and supportive.We are grateful for our partnership with Girls in the Game and hope to continue to foster and nurture thisvaluable partnership.Niki Grangruth, Site Resource Coordinator at Crown Community AcademyCenter for Community Arts Parnerships (CCAP) at Columbia College Chicago76%of girls demonstratedsignificant increases in GRIT2016 Annual Report(perseverance or determination)88%68%of girls supported usingnon-violent strategies in a conflictof girls improvedtheir self-worth17
