The Creation
Recognizing that young girls were not participating enough in the sports sessions organized by the “organization ” (and even less so after the age of 12) and that they were, as a result, underrepresented in the professional integration program “ Job dans la Ville,” the “organization ” created the “ L dans la Ville ” program in 2009.
What is the goal?
The goal is to enable each participant to thrive through sports, take her rightful place in society, and build a sustainable career path.

What kinds of experiences do the participants have?

I'm a girl—can I participate in any workout session?
Yes, girls can participate in all of our co-ed sessions alongside boys, because Sport dans la Ville is a firm believer in gender diversity. In addition, we offer sessions exclusively for girls to provide a space where they can be among themselves and to welcome young girls who may be less familiar with sports facilities or co-ed activities.
