The Leadership Academy Kicks Off This Month!

After months of planning, discussing, preparing, interviewing, and more, we are beyond excited to welcome 15 girls to the Leadership Academy. We will be kicking things off with a Welcome dinner for our high school sophomores, their parents/guardians, mentors, and volunteers on August 25th! 

The Leadership Academy is an in-depth, 10 month program designed to help female, high school sophomore athletes develop leadership and interpersonal skills, connect with peers and female professionals in the area, and give back to their communities. Details and more information about the Leadership Academy can be found here.

Our first cohort of girls to enter the Leadership Academy is comprised of 15 young women from diverse backgrounds who share a strong motivation to develop as leaders. We could not be more impressed with what we have seen so far from our Leadership Academy participants, and we can’t wait to watch them grow over the course of the next 10 months. Stay tuned for more updates on the Leadership Academy as we really get going in September!

2019 Has Been Record-breaking for LLB’s Scholarship Program!

We are thrilled to provide full scholarships to 15 girls – the most in our history – to attend summer programs that build leadership skills for our young female athletes.

This summer, our scholarship recipients are having incredible experiences at The Julie Foudy Sports Leadership Academy, Sports Challenge, and GenHERation Discovery Days. We are incredibly proud to partner with these organizations who are leaders in their field, providing high quality and effective programming to hundreds of girls each summer. These experiences help create the next generation of female leaders. Our 15 scholarship recipients have benefitted and will continue to benefit substantially from attending these programs, and it would not have been possible without the passion and generosity of the LLB community.     

Thanks to over 250 donors, this year’s March MATCH-ness campaign in honor of Blaine’s birthday raised over $30,000. It is because of this campaign that we have been able to expand our scholarship programs so significantly. Thank you for helping us spread Blaine’s spirit by supporting more young women than ever!
