Founding Board Member Application
The Girl Athlete Project is in its early stages, and we are building our founding board with intention. This has been over a year in the making just to begin. Shaped through both my perspective and my daughter’s as athletes in this space. We’re taking a thoughtful, grounded approach as it begins to unfold, with care in bringing the right people alongside us.
We are establishing a South Carolina 501(c)(3) nonprofit and are seeking individuals who will support, grow and share the organization's mission.
We’re looking for people who care deeply about girls in sports and bring professional experience that can contribute to building a strong, sustainable foundation. This is not a resume driven role, but relevant professional skills, perspective, community connections and the ability to contribute meaningfully do matter.
A few key questions to include with your application and these can be short answers.
What is your connection to girls in sports? Have you played sports or have a relative that does?
