Organizations Filed Purposes: Figure Skating in Harlem (FSH) is the first organization of its kind to combine the power of education with access to the sport and artistic discipline of figure skating to empower young women to thrive and become strong leaders. Since 1997, our program has provided students ages 6 18 with access to educational, health, and fitness services to help them reach their fullest potentials. Our mission is to help girls transform their lives and grow in confidence, leadership, and academic achievement. Our vision is for every student, regardless of socio-economic background, to develop the foundational academic, social and leadership skills to achieve her dreams. She will be a powerful speaker, an effective leader, live a healthy lifestyle and be a global citizen. With 22 years of experience in New York City, in 2017 we launched our first chapter in Detroit, bringing our powerful and effective programming to a whole new community and expanding our impact.
