Our Goal:
Femina Rising is dedicated to raising awareness about the challenges faced by female athletes, who often receive less support and recognition compared to their male counterparts. Through engaging speaking events, fun-filled carnivals, and fundraisers, we aim to shine a light on these disparities and advocate for change. Join us in our mission to empower young girls in sports and create a equitable environment for all athletes. Together, we make a difference!
Why Girls' Sports Matter:
Girls’ sports can be life-changing—but too many girls are pushed out before they ever get the chance to see their full potential. By age 14, girls are nearly twice as likely as boys to drop out of sports, often because of body image pressure, lack of confidence, limited opportunities, and not feeling supported or seen. Studies show that self-confidence drops sharply in adolescent girls, and female athletes receive only a small fraction of overall sports media coverage compared to men, making it harder for girls to imagine themselves as celebrated athletes. Femina Rising exists to change that. By promoting girls’ sports, amplifying female athletes, and creating spaces where girls feel encouraged, valued, and supported, Femina Rising works to keep girls in the game—building confidence, community, and visibility so the next generation of girl athletes doesn’t just participate but rises.
