Reclaim Childhood

Reclaim Childhood creates safe and inclusive spaces for refugee and local girls in Jordan to thrive by playing sports, working with coaches, and building community. RC works with refugees from more than eight countries as well as underserved Jordanian women and girls, bringing together refugees, host communities, and volunteers from around the world. Since its founding in 2008, RC has been running summer camps, after school programs, and coaching clinics in the cities of Amman and Zarqa. All components of RC's programming take place in female-only spaces, led by local and refugee women who act as mentors and role models for participants.
