Girls from poor neighborhoods have little opportunity to engage in sports, leading to higher rates of obesity, more risky behavior and lower academic achievement. The Bay Area’s Team Up For Youth organization is holding a girls’ sports summit, titled “The Game Plan for Girls’ Sports.”

Guests:

Janet Carter, executive director of Team Up For Youth, a nonprofit that uses sports to change the lives of underprivileged kids

Yolanda Griffith, two-time Olympic gold medalist, seven-time WNBA All-Star and founder of All About Us Girlz, an organization empowering female athletes on and off the basketball court
