Since its launch in November of 2007, GoGirlGo! Boston has reached out to more than 10,000 girls in the Boston area through our curriculum and programming support. We’re thrilled with the progress our office has made and would like to welcome a new addition to our force. India Fontes has joined us this month as our new Project Coordinator. Our current Office Coordinator and interim Project Coordinator, Sarah White, will be leaving her position at the end of the month; we are sad to see her go, but excited to welcome India Fontes.
Fontes attended high school at Newman Preparatory in Boston and graduated from Springfield College with a bachelor’s degree in human services. She most recently served as program coordinator for Action for Boston Commuity Development, and prior to that she held positions with the Women of Color Round Table, the Dimock-Boston Pediatric Family AIDS Project, the Women of Color AIDS Council, and Citizen Schools. She knows the ins and outs of working with girls, and we are thrilled to have her passion on board. In her position with GoGirlGo! Boston, Fontes will use her expertise to collaborate with and support organizations that we work with. She has a special gift for engaging community members and will bring great energy to the mission of increasing girls’ health and physical activity levels.
We look forward to enhancing the ability of our office to support girls’ sports programs in and around Boston. Fontes is anticipating building quality relationships with community youth programmers such as you—please joins us in welcoming her enthusiastically to the GoGirlGo! Boston office. If you would like to welcome India or get in touch with her about future projects, please email her at
