CO-DIRECTOR, 3rd Year

“My name is Jillian Golden and I am a senior studying Entrepreneurship and Management at Merrimack College. I am from Toronto, Canada and play on Merrimack’s Womens Soccer team. As a Co-Founder, Girls on Ice has given me the opportunity to become a role model for young girls. The program is aimed at empowering young girls through the combination of sport and facilitated discussion. It has been one of the best experiences I have been involved in and can’t wait to enter the second year of the program. It has been an honour to have had the privilege of working with student trained facilitators and the Women’s Hockey team to create a long lasting impact. I look forward to the future of Girls on Ice 2025”
