Figure Skating in Harlem helps girls transform their lives and grow in confidence, leadership and academic achievement. They are the first organization for girls of color that combines the power of education with access to the artistic discipline of figure skating to build champions in life. Using the artistic discipline of figure skating as a powerful magnet, they provide girls in Upper Manhattan and the Bronx (and now in Detroit), with innovative education and fitness programs that promote academic success, physical health, and emotional well-being. As a result, their students experience physical, emotional, and intellectual growth in a safe and supportive environment.
