‘Tis better to give back than receive.

The holiday season isn’t just a time to receive—it’s also an opportunity to give back. At Play Like a Girl, we’re empowering the next generation of girls to pursue careers in STEM and sports, and we couldn’t do it without volunteers like you. Whether you’re looking to mentor, help at events, or take on a leadership role, there are many ways to make a difference this holiday season.

Ways You Can Volunteer

1. Be a Mentor

Join our national mentorship network for women and spend one hour or more inspiring middle school girls to explore their interests and dream big. You’ll have the opportunity to share your story, provide guidance, and make a lasting impact on their futures. Flash mentoring means there’s no long-term commitment, so even a single hour can create meaningful change.

2. Help at an Event

Support Play Like a Girl’s events like our annual Holiday Huddle with tasks such as event logistics, registration, setup, and hosting workshops or activities. Whether you’re behind the scenes or engaging with participants, your involvement ensures these events run smoothly and create unforgettable experiences for the girls we serve.

3. Share Your Professional Skills

Have a talent for marketing, graphic design, public relations, or project management? Email us today at [email protected]. We’re looking for skilled professionals to lend their expertise to support our programming, operations, or communications teams. By volunteering your skills, you can help us amplify our message and reach more girls nationwide.

4. Sponsor or Organize a Drive

Get your friends, family, or coworkers involved by organizing a donation drive to collect and pack STEM kits, sports equipment, or gift cards for the girls in our programs. You can also sponsor a school, ensuring students have access to Play Like a Girl programs throughout the year. Your efforts provide crucial resources and opportunities to underserved communities.

5. Join Our Board of Directors

Take your impact to the next level by serving on the Play Like a Girl Board of Directors. As a board member, you’ll help guide our strategic vision, engage in fundraising efforts, and serve as an ambassador for our mission. This is a unique opportunity to be at the forefront of empowering the next generation of women leaders. Write [email protected] to apply or request more information board service.
