Creating ripples of change in Canadian sport.

We believe the smallest act of healing can have the greatest impact.

At Athletes Empowered, we know that the smallest steps of healing and courage are powerful. We help to foster safe, supportive community so that every victim-survivor of abuse in sport can help create a ripple effect that brings about a cascade of change to the sport system. Together, we are dedicated to supporting victim-survivors of abuse through their healing journeys and collectively working to transform sport into a space that is safe, inclusive, and nurturing for every single child, youth, and adult athlete.

Our core pillars.

  • Our advocacy extends to the highest levels of sport and government, and together we rally decisionmakers to hold enablers and perpetrators accountable for their actions.

    Through policy reform and systemic change, we work to eradicate the culture of impunity in Canadian sport.

  • We offer safe and confidential one-on-one calls, case support, and group peer support programs to help victim-survivors find healing and to make informed choices about their experiences.

  • We believe empowerment means consent, choice, and control over your story and experiences. Together, we help victim-survivors choose the path to healing that is right for them.

  • Athletes Empowered is an independent not-for-profit and volunteer-led organization. We are not affiliated with any sport club, organization, or government entity. We rely 100% on the generous support of donors fund resources, support and programs.
