It all began with a game of soccer and a group of girls who had never been asked to play.
We brought a coach, t-shirts, soccer balls, and sent the boys away.
The girls ran, laughed, and asked when they could play again.
That evening at the hotel, we spoke about a question we could not stop asking.
What would happen if these girls had a team, a coach who believed in her, and a reason to show up every week?
Today, Sparks for Good helps to bring girls from the U.S., and Canada together with girls from communities with few resources through sport.
And the goal is that girls from North America can make Sparks for Good - inspiring girls who once stood on the sidelines to become captains, coaches, and mentors for the girls who come next. And for the girls from North America, we all come home inspired, more resilient and ready to create Sparks for Good in our own communities.
