Leveling The Fields

Overview Leveling the Fields is a programs-focused nonprofit dedicated to increasing the number of girls in sports, recognizing the strong correlation between sports participation and future leadership roles. We are committed to breaking down barriers and providing universal access to sports, regardless of financial constraints, geographical limitations, or lack of options. Through our EmpowerPlay and PlayFit programs, we aim to get more girls into sports, keep them engaged, and equip them with the tools needed to thrive as future leaders.

About Leveling The Fields Leveling the Fields uses sports as a vehicle to build confidence, leadership, and lifelong healthy habits in elementary-aged girls. Our programs are designed to meet girls where they are, many with little to no prior sports experience, and grow with them year after year. As our programs expand, we are seeking a Curriculum Coordinator to create, evolve, and scale our sport-specific curricula across multiple years of participation.

Role Overview The Curriculum Coordinator is responsible for managing, creating, and maintaining Leveling the Fields' sport curricula. This role ensures that each sport has a clear Phase 1, Phase 2, and Phase 3 progression , allowing girls who participate across multiple years to continuously build skills, confidence, and understanding of the sport. This is a high-impact role that directly shapes the athlete experience and supports coaches—many of whom are not former athletes—by providing clear, age-appropriate, easy-to-use curriculum resources.
