On October 28,2025, Go for Goals, in partnership with Growing Opportunities International (GO!), hosted the inaugural Go for Girls Sport & Education Workshop. The workshop invited 16 Grade 7 girls from the Pwani province to participate in a four-day sport and education workshop. The event was hosted at Tanzanite Beach in Kigamboni, Dar es Salaam. The girls participated in a variety of sessions which focused on:
The inaugural workshop was facilitated by Canadian volunteers – Amanda Martinson (youth social worker), Darla McFarlane (teacher and government training consultant), Vern Taylor (physiotherapist), and Amanda Furst (GO! Founder and physical education and health teacher). Though the workshop was cut short due to political unrest caused by the presidential elections, the girls gained many skills and found great value in the workshop.
Go for Goals looks forward to hosting the Go for Girls workshop annually to help support young aspiring female athletes and motivate them to continue to hone their skills.
