GOALS GIRLS SUMMIT 2026
MORE THAN A GAME.
October 31, 2026 | Altezza by Armenian Helicopters, Yerevan
250 girls. 20 communities. 10 years of GOALS.
This October, girls from across Armenia will come together for the first-ever GOALS Girls Summit — a day created around their voices, their ideas and their futures.
IT STARTED WITH RISE.
RISE: GOALS Girls in Motion
A year-long educational and leadership journey for 250 girls ages 11–15 from 20 communities across Armenia.
Through sport, workshops and shared experiences, girls are developing the skills to:
SPEAK UP.
LEAD.
SOLVE PROBLEMS.
BUILD CONFIDENCE.
CHALLENGE STEREOTYPES.
SEE NEW POSSIBILITIES.
RISE brings together everything GOALS has been building for the past decade: sport + education + leadership + community.
FROM THE FIELD TO THE SUMMIT
For months, girls have been learning and growing in their own communities.
Now, they come together.
250 GIRLS
20 COMMUNITIES

The Summit is the culmination of their RISE journey — and a celebration of everything they can become.
A DAY BUILT FOR GIRLS
FIND YOUR VOICE
Interactive sessions on confidence, communication and speaking up.
MEET YOUR ROLE MODELS
Connect with women from sport, business, education, social impact and beyond.
LEAD WHERE YOU ARE
Discover that leadership doesn't have to wait. It can start in your team, school or community.
IMAGINE WHAT'S NEXT
Explore new careers, opportunities and possibilities beyond what you already know.
PLAY. CONNECT. HAVE FUN.
Sports activities, challenges, music, photos and a GOALS Funzone.
GIRLS TAKE THE STAGE
This isn't a conference about girls.
Girls are part of the Summit itself.
GOALS Summit Ambassadors and participants will host, speak, moderate conversations and share their own stories.
Because the most important voices in the room should be theirs.
10 YEARS OF GOALS
FROM ONE TEAM TO A MOVEMENT.
In 2016, GOALS started with a simple idea:
Give girls a safe space to play.
Ten years later, GOALS has connected girls and coaches across 80+ communities in Armenia.
The Summit brings that journey together — and looks toward the next 10 years.
This isn't just a celebration of where we've been.
It's a celebration of where girls can go next.
MORE THAN A GAME.
Sport is where it starts.
But what girls take with them goes much further:
Confidence.
Friendship.
Leadership.
Courage.
A voice.
A sense of belonging.
The freedom to imagine more.
AND THIS IS JUST THE BEGINNING.
The GOALS Girls Summit is the culmination of RISE.
But for the girls in the room, it is also a beginning.
New connections.
New ideas.
New ambitions.
New possibilities.
Because when girls rise, communities move forward.
