WHAT WE DO

Fast and Female works in collaboration with community partners to deliver events and programs with a goal of empowering girls through sport and physical activity. This can include 90 minute workshops, a day-long event, or a multi-week program! Learn more about our model below.

HOW WE DO IT

Every Fast and Female event and program is funded through grantors, sponsors, donors, and key partners. We then collaborate with community organizations to deliver our girl-centered, girl-focused opportunities to empower girls through sport, physical activity and education. Although we have a library of program and event models, and curriculums, each offering is adapted to fit the needs of the communities we work with!

Our event and program models are based off of 5 key ingredients:

GIRL-CENTERED AND GIRL-FOCUSED SPACES

We know that many girls and folks that feel most welcomed in spaces for girls face a lack of access to welcoming, brave spaces and opportunities. This is a top priority for us! A space made for the girls, by the girls.

ACCESS TO WOMEN ROLE MODELS

You can’t be what you don’t see. Through our REAL (Relatable, Empowered, Active Leaders) Role Model program, we bring incredible women, age 20+, from within the community to be role models for our participants during our events and programs!

EVIDENCE-BASED CURRICULUM

Working with industry leaders, including academics, registered psychologists, and mental performance coaches, alongside our in-house expertise, we’ve developed a library of evidence-based curriculum that we deliver as workshops during our events and programs. These curriculum focus on key topics like confidence, leadership, body image, consent, safe sport, and using your voice.

MOVEMENT THROUGH SPORT AND PHYSICAL ACTIVITY

Because girls in sport (and physical activity) are empowered for life! We want to empower our participants to move their bodies in fun and challenging ways. This includes active ice breakers and warm-ups, and a 30+ minute physical activity session led by certified coaches and instructors (i.e. boxing, soccer, dance, basketball, running and more).

A SENSE OF BELONGING AND FUN!

Girls look to feel welcomed and a sense of belonging in sport and physical activity spaces to maintain active participation (Canadian Women & Sport, 2020). This is a top priority for us. We look at the WHOLE journey as a participant, from marketing to our welcome emails, being greeted at our events and programs, and having a dedicated role model to work with to ensure our participants feel like they belong, can be their authentic selves and, ultimately, have fun!
