Volunteer opportunities are ideal for highschool or postsecondary students, or professionals looking to give back to the community.
Hijabi Ballers is a Toronto-based non-profit organization with a mission to empower the Muslim female athlete community through meaningful programs and one-of-a-kind opportunities. Our programs include basketball tournaments, drop-in sessions, snowboarding and skateboarding programs, coaching and training certifications, school workshops and more. Hijabi Ballers also provides funding opportunities to Muslim female athletes, leaders and sport organizations through the Black Muslim Athlete Fund, Hijabi Ballers Player Fund and Hijabi Ballers Leader Fund. Additionally, the first-of-its-kind Hijabi Ballers Community App, specifically designed for Muslim female athletes, coaches, allies and sport organizations, is revolutionizing the way Muslim women experience sport by providing a platform to connect, support one another and easily access resources and opportunities for free.
Our Goals:
1. Increase representation of Muslim females in sport spaces and sport media;
2. Provide opportunities for Muslim females to participate in sport, try new sports and hone their skills;
3. Recognize the accomplishments of and celebrate Muslim female athletes; and
4. Integrate allies (i.e. coaches, parents, community mentors) in the growth and development of Muslim female athletes and their communities
