Introduction
our work focuses on young girls with a migration background
In Amsterdam West, our work focuses on young girls with a migration background. We aim to foster a positive mindset, build confidence, and strengthen resilience to help them progress toward their life goals.
encourage girls to inspire and support one another
Sports play an important role in improving group dynamics and creating connection. A key goal is to encourage girls to inspire and support one another along their journey. Through our extensive network of high-profile athletes and professionals from various fields, we offer the girls life-changing opportunities beyond the boundaries of their own neighbourhood. Finally, we support them in addressing personal challenges and developing their own stories.
powerful moment of collective healing and recognition
We conclude the programme with a public storytelling event for friends, family, and everyone involved – a powerful moment of collective healing and recognition. As a final celebration, we also host the national Time To Shine street football tournament: an inspiring stage where girls come together to celebrate talent, express their authenticity, and shine through football.
For who
Girls aged approximately 14–18 years
Season 4
Spring – Autumn 2025
