Inspire Girls Basketball and Wellness Initiative

A severely underserved group, particularly young and teenage girls, faces increasing mental health challenges exacerbated by COVID and rising community violence. To address these issues, Inspire partners with the Women's National Basketball Association's Connecticut Sun, law enforcement Police Athletic League (PAL) programs, and community organizations to provide a holistic health, wellness, and violence prevention program. This initiative focuses on boosting self-esteem, tackling body image concerns, and building resilience through sports, field trips, and enrichment activities.
