We empower girls to BRAVEUP and Run After Their Dreams.
All through the transformative power of track and field.
OurImpact
WhoWe Are
TrackGirlz is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit founded by Mechelle Lewis Freeman, Olympian, world champion and former Team USA women’s relays coach. We give girls equitable access to track and field, plus the mentorship and higher-education pathways that come with it.
WhatWe Do
We train, mentor and invest in girls from communities across the country and around the world, giving them the tools to grow as athletes, students and leaders. Track and field is bigger than running fast. It builds confidence, discipline and a sisterhood that lasts.
Train
Performance Workshopz and our FAST Clinic put girls on the track with Olympians and elite coaches, building speed, strength and self-belief.
Mentor
DreamBuildHER and our Speaker Series pair girls with mentors and a youth development curriculum built for life beyond the track.
Invest
TrackGirlz Grants and TrackGirlz Scholarships cover the uniforms, travel, club fees, equipment and college costs that keep girls in the sport.

Hear FromOur Community
We can use this grant in so many ways… one airline ticket can change the life of one girl.
I wanted to create this track club because I wanted to do something for my community. It means so much to have this grant because many athletes in need can’t afford the fee for our club.
