She Changes the Game Program Director, DC

WHO WE ARE

Founded in 2010, Coach Across America (Up2Us, Inc.) is a national nonprofit organization focused on coaches' power to transform the lives of our nation’s most resilient youth and the communities they live in through sports.  Coach Across America believes that the root cause of the challenges facing our nation’s youth is the absence of healthy relationships and role models who can inspire and guide them to make better decisions that lead to their lifelong success. Coach Across America is based on a simple premise: One Coach can change everything…we are making sure every kid has one.

SHE CHANGES THE GAME

Coach Across America is committed to getting more women to coach youth sports because when a girl has a woman as a coach, she is more likely to stay involved in her sports program. 

She Changes the Game® has three main pillars of impact: Awareness, Development, and Opportunity. We support our partners with best practices of recruiting women coaches and work to highlight the impact that women coaches make in sports.
