ZGiRLS is a nonprofit based in Bellevue, Washington, founded by Olympic and NCAA athletes to empower middle school girls with confidence-building and mental resilience that support success in sports and beyond. Programs are led by Olympic and professional female athletes, who deliver the ZGiRLS Curriculum to teach practical mental skills such as positive self-talk, goal setting, stress management, body image, and leadership. The organization serves girls aged 11–14, welcoming transgender and cisgender girls as well as non-binary youth who identify with the girls’ community, from diverse backgrounds. In addition to in-program content, ZGiRLS provides resources for parents to extend confidence-building beyond the program duration. The nonprofit emphasizes meeting girls where they are and aims to close the confidence gap that typically emerges by adolescence. The organization operates with a relatively small to mid-sized team.
