Who We Are
GLAM GIRL is the Global Local Athletic Movement, a youth-founded, youth-led club model organization started with the vision of creating equity in sports. By combining sport practice, leadership training and service projects, GLAM GIRL creates more opportunities for young women and girls to play sports and promotes gender equality in our schools, communities and world.
GLAM GIRL helps young women and girls to develop leadership skills, challenge stereotypes, overcome barriers and follow their dreams. What motivates and inspires us is the fact that girls’ participation in sports is associated with having a positive multiplier effect on lots of development outcomes --- health, education and leadership (to name just a few)!
Founders

Teagan Lind
My name is Teagan Lind and I play basketball at Middlebury College (VT). In high school I loved playing basketball for my AAU MCW Starz team as well as my high school team where I was a 3x league MVP. I want every female athlete to have the opportunity to play a sport they love and have the ability to build relationships and learn important life lessons. I hope to make sure that we help those in need overcome any barriers they may face so they are given the same opportunity as other female athletes.
