NEW YORK LIBERTY SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY

The New York Liberty believe that service is at the heart of community building. Our social responsibility platform is built on four pillars: expanding youth basketball through clinics and camps, empowering young girls with mentorship and career programs, advocating for underserved communities, and promoting Pride alongside the LGBTQ+ community.

Basketball

According to the Women’s Sports Foundation, by the age of 14, girls drop out of sports at twice the rate of boys. Yet, Fortune estimates 90% of women CEOs are former athletes.

Embrace

The Liberty strongly advocate for gender equality. As an organization, we embrace the future generation and the responsibility that we have to lead and inspire.

Unity

In 2016, the New York Liberty launched its inaugural UNITY initiative in response to police brutality and unjust police killings of unarmed black Americans.

Pride

The New York Liberty cultivate LGBTQ+-friendly experiences and spaces, all year long. However, each June, the Liberty participate in the national PRIDE celebration.
