Mission

 
Team Up Philly is dedicated to empowering girls living in under-served Philadelphia neighborhoods to achieve their full potential through participation in programs that combine athletics, character development, fitness & nutrition education, leadership training and academic support. We believe strongly in the value of bringing urban and suburban communities together in partnerships that benefit both.

Our chief focus is on empowering girls in their critical adolescent and teen years to grow stronger, healthier, more confident and capable while supporting each other as part of a team, learning to stand for themselves and with each other.

We take a long-term, intensive approach, offering school-year programs as well as summer camp opportunities and providing coaching and mentoring to participants over a period of years.
