Celebrating Title IX @ 50 Action Toolkit
February 2, 2022, marks the 36th annual National Girls & Women in Sports Day (NGWSD). This celebration inspires girls and women to play and be active, to realize their full power. The confidence, strength and character gained through sports participation are the very tools girls and women need to become strong leaders in sports and life. This ISSSSC Sport Conversation for Change will share expert advocate & activists insights on NGWSD and its relationship to and significance with Title IX. We will also share our “Words TO Action” collaborative effort with the Wall of Song Project “Feeling Good”, a social action initiative, created by SJSU Art Lecturer Mel Day: https://wallofsongproject.com/
