SPORT IN THE CITY

Founded in 1998, Sport dans la Ville is France’s leading association dedicated to integration through sports, and its mission is to promote equal opportunities for young people from disadvantaged neighborhoods.

All of the programs established by the Association help remove the barriers that stand in the way of the 12,000 young people we support: providing access to regular sports activities, promoting social and professional integration, fostering entrepreneurial talent in local communities, and contributing to the empowerment of young girls.

Sport dans la Ville works in priority urban neighborhoods to (re)ignite a passion for sports from an early age (fields are open to children ages 6 and up), boost self-confidence, and contribute to the self-fulfillment and empowerment of young girls through long-term support, all the way through to professional integration.

Sport in the City works with women:

• Promotes women's sports activities (special sessions and outings)
• Boosting girls’ self-confidence and leadership (self-esteem and self-actualization workshops, field trips)
• Promote career guidance and integration for girls (meet inspiring women, explore career options, provide assistance with work-study programs, internships, and employment, etc.).
• Promoting gender diversity and equal opportunities for girls and their families
• Supporting young women entrepreneurs (more than 50% of the beneficiaries supported by the Entrepreneurs dans la Ville program are women)
