Fast and Female is a registered Canadian charity focused on empowering girls through sport, physical activity, and education. Our innovative events and programs – in-person and virtual – are designed to build confidence and leadership skills in girls. With an evidence-based curriculum developed by industry leaders, we address important topics such as removing societal barriers to keep girls safe and confident in sports and promoting positive body image.

Why Do We Exist?

For the girls! 

In comparison to boys, girls are less likely to get involved and stay involved in sports. By age sixteen 1 out of 3 girls who played sports drop out, versus 1 out of 10 boys the same age (Canadian Women and Sport Rally Report, 2020). The top 3 ways to reverse these trends are: 

1. engaging with the girls to identify how to create a sense of social belonging, 
2. prioritizing their mental and physical health, 
3. and providing relatable role models from within their own communities.

With these calls to action, Fast and Female strives to provide a safe space to explore new sports and physical activities.

How Do We Do Strive to Accomplish This?

By collaborating with communities and organizations, we create impactful opportunities for girls to connect with local role models who are relatable, empowered active leaders (REAL) in their respective field. Join us in making a difference and empowering the next generation of leaders.
