Overview

Mission

Girls leading girls' mission is to train young women in leadership through soccer. By empowering females at a young age to explore and harness their talents through skill, leadership, and character development, women will become leaders of a thriving global society.

What it reported doing in 2025

At girls leading girls, we believe that every woman has infinite potential. Our program focuses on empowering girls to be leaders within their own communities, encouraging collaboration amongst girls of different socio-economic backgrounds, and fortifying girls' life skills through the lessons of sports and friendly competition. These goals are achieved through the sf sol soccer club for age groups u9-u16, the female head and assistant coach training program, and high school/middle school girls' junior coaches training. All coaches complete a cpr course and obtain their coaching license from the California youth soccer association.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 100% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

STRONG - The filed numbers largely add up and a large share of available resources goes toward mission work. Program spending has declined or grown slowly and liabilities are high compared with assets.
