Overview

Mission

Reclaim childhood creates safe and inclusive spaces for girls in jordan to thrive by playing sports, working with coaches, and building community. Reclaim childhood operates regular after school sports programming and summer camp for girls, as well as teen leadership programs and coach training. Annually, reclaim childhood reaches hundreds of underserved girls ages 6-18 from seven refugee groups and the host community. Reclaim childhood has three main goals: first, to provide a safe space where participants can "reclaim childhood and just be kids. Second, to connect communities that otherwise may not interact refugees and host community jordanians alike. Third, to empower and inspire young women, by employing the positive impact of sport and play to teach the life lessons uniquely learned through athletics and by providing strong female role models as coaches.

What it reported doing in 2024

After-school programming: this runs throughout the academic year, with girls ages 6-18 participating in soccer, basketball, and frisbee. The organization's coaches go through training before each season and lead practices combining sport and socioemotional skills. They run sixteen practices per week across four hub sites in amman (2), mafraq, and zarqa, jordan.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 91% 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

SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and most voting board members are independent. The filing reports few safeguards for money sent abroad and the filing does not identify recipients for some grant dollars.
