ABOUT US
4theGirlz is a US-based service and charitable giving organization that was founded in 2021 by two Jamaica Youth National Team Players: Avery Johnson (JYNT u17 & u20) and Mia Mitchell (JYNT u20). The organization was formed to help address the lack of resources and access experienced by many young aspiring female footballers in Jamaica.
We aim to help fill the void by building on our 4 foundational areas of focus:
SUPPORT, DEVELOPMENT, MENTORSHIP, COMMUNITY
The first 4theGirlz event was held in August, 2022 when more than 2 dozen young girls were invited to participate in a 3-day Clinic that included technical skills training, small-sided games, 1 on 1 mentoring and group discussions. Each young player received her own cleats, ball, bag and training uniform.
Avery Johnson currently serves as the Lead Organizer for 4theGirlz - Avery manages all social media presence, corporate outreach, and a team of volunteers in the US and Jamaica who assist with equipment donations and distribution. Avery can be reached regarding inquiries and donations at: info@4thegirlz.org.
We thank you for your support!
