King County Play Equity Coalition is partnering with Positive Coaching Alliance and Burien Parks and Recreation to host a FREE Burien Women's Coach Symposium. If you are a BIPOC and/or Spanish-speaking women passionate about youth physical activity and equity, join us for a special day of learning, connection, and empowerment!
Why attend? - Representation matters: Female coaches provide girls with relatable role models and affirm girls’ identities, which helps boost their confidence - Better retention of girls in sports: Girls are significantly less active than boys, so having women coaches helps keep girls in the game long-term - Advance gender equity and inclusive leadership: Recruiting and retaining women coaches is critical to achieve equity in youth sports and level the playing field
