Vancouver, British Columbia - This past week, The Vancouver Basketball Foundation™ had 35+ athletes and leaders from Girls Who LEAP and the Vancity Junior All-Native Team participate in the Inaugural STRONGHER™ Program. In partnership with Face of Today Foundation, STRONGHER™ will run a free strength program for eight weeks.    

                                                                                                                                   
STRONGHER™ is an inclusive strength program for self-identifying young, adolescent women. This program will encourage confidence and competence in every aspect of strength training, with the long-term goal to inspire a life-long passion for active wellness. In a supportive and safe female-identified environment, participants will challenge themselves physically and mentally, while developing confidence and leadership skills.
                                                                                                                                   

STRONGHER™ is open to any self-identifying young women including Indigenous, two-spirited, non-binary, LGBTQQIA+, vulnerable and at-risk youth in BC communities. All of our coaches and leaders are  women, certified in their respected profession, adhering to the Responsible Coaches Movement.
