Burien PaRCS hosting training event to empower women in youth sports leadership on Sunday, Aug. 17

A free workshop on youth sports leadership will take place on August 17 at the Highline Performing Arts Center in Burien, targeting women in South King County. Hosted by the City of Burien's Parks, Recreation and Cultural Services Department, the event includes training from the Positive Coaching Alliance, childcare, and opportunities for networking. No experience is required, with organizers urging attendees to bring their passion for making a difference in youth sports. The workshop's goal is to promote female representation in coaching, mentoring, and advocacy roles, which are often underrepresented in local programs. This initiative reflects Burien's commitment to fostering inclusive community engagement and cultural enrichment.

Attendees will engage in hands-on learning experiences designed to build confidence and leadership skills. The event emphasizes collaboration in creating a more equitable future in youth sports. By empowering women, the program aims to make a lasting impact on local sports culture.
