Campaign

Girl Scout Gold Award Project

Safe Sports, Strong Athletes is a campaign dedicated to promoting safety, respect, and awareness in sports. The project educated over 1,500 people through presentations, flyers, and digital resources on how to identify, prevent, and report misconduct from coaches or teammates. Inspired by her own experience as an athlete, Chloe created this initiative to empower young players to speak up, support one another, and help make sports a safe and positive space for everyone.
