Figure Skating in Harlem
Figure Skating in Harlem helps girls transform their lives and grow in confidence, leadership and academic achievement. We are the only organization in the world for girls of color that combines the power of education with access to the artistic discipline of figure skating to build champions in life.
Our Vision is to empower every young girl with the skills and foundation to achieve her dreams. She will be a powerful speaker, an effective leader, live a healthy and financially independent lifestyle, and be a global citizen.

Education
Our signature curriculum is designed to improve reading, writing, and math, introduce financial literacy and STEM concepts, promote positive social and emotional skills, and encourage good health and nutrition.
Leadership
Our vision is to create leaders of tomorrow through cultural field trips, life skills classes, and career exploration experiences where the students learn about identity, self-actualization, goals, and planning for their future.
