GirlSportWorks improves the lives of adolescent girls in Cusco, Peru by teaching life skills through a free and voluntary after-school athletics program. The GSW curriculum focuses on physical education as a means for promoting self-esteem, leadership and cooperation in a welcoming, all-female environment. Sports-based classes are complemented by valuable field trips to parks, pools, and Peruvian heritage sites to create an enriching program for our students. GSW Program Managers serve as mentors by developing strong relationships with our students, and also with their families, schools and communities. Our mission is to develop self-confidence, team skills, and body awareness in our students, allowing them to realize their physical and mental capabilities as females and as individuals.
