Program accomplishments

  • THE EMPOWERMENT EFFECT DRAMATICALLY TRANSFORMED THE HOCKEY PROGRAM BY SUCCESSFULLY RECRUITING OVER 40 ENTHUSIASTIC GIRLS. WITH TWO MONTHLY PRACTICES AND BY IMPLEMENTING A VARIETY OF ENGAGING OFF-ICE EVENTS, THE EMPOWERMENT EFFECT FOSTERED A VIBRANT COMMUNITY THAT NOT ONLY STRENGTHENED THE TEAM BOND AND EMPOWERED THESE GIRLS WITH CONFIDENCE BUT ALSO IGNITED A GENUINE PASSION FOR THE SPORT. THIS INITIATIVE ELEVATED OUR PARTICIPATION RATES AND ALSO CULTIVATED A WELCOMING ENVIRONMENT WHERE THESE YOUNG ATHLETES COULD LEARN LIFE LESSONS AND THRIVE BOTH ON AND OFF THE ICE!
  • THE EMPOWERMENT EFFECT HOSTS AN ANNUAL ADULT HOCKEY TOURNAMENT AS A FUNDRAISER THAT IS ENTIRELY VOLUNTEER-RUN, FEATURING OVER 20 TEAMS AND 350-400 PLAYERS. WHILE PROMOTING EQUITABLE ACCESS, SAFE SPACES, AND FUN, 100 PERCENT OF THE PROCEEDS SUPPORT OUR MISSION.
