About BAWSI and BAWSI Girls
The Bay Area Women's Sports Initiative (BAWSI, pronounced "bossy") is a non-profit organization that inspires a movement of women athletes who empower girls and women to take charge of their lives. Through BAWSI, women athletes are mobilized to transform the health and futures of girls, women, and their families in underserved communities. BAWSI's efforts seek to address the health and lifestyle problems resulting from lack of physical exercise through our BAWSI Girls after-school curriculum of innovative activities that make exercise a fun and social outlet for girls. Young girls are now sweating their way to good health and positive self-esteem while being shown options for the future that comes from being an empowered woman, including the possibility of attending college. By becoming a member of BAWSI Girls, girls experience the feeling of belonging to something positive that gives them a sense of value.
