Gina Faubert - Radiant Girls8

Gina Faubert

Gina Faubert founded the Radiant Girls Leadership Foundation in February 2008, realizing a dream she had cherished since the age of 15: to empower girls through health and wellness. From an early age, Gina understood how physical activity could reduce anxiety and build self-confidence. She also recognized the critical role of proper nutrition in improving mood and focus. Her mission is to provide all girls with access to empowering and engaging wellness programs, a supportive peer community, and knowledgeable mentors during their tween and teen years.

Below is a group of incredible women who have joined our Radiant Girls Village with the same mission and vision. These remarkable individuals bring their energy, wisdom, and skills to our programs in various capacities, including as guest speakers, advisors, board members, and support staff. Each one of them contributes to our girls with an open heart, making a significant impact, and allowing us to offer our quality camps, classes, and coaching programs and serve more girls every year. Each and every one of these women is a rock star in their own industries and families, and an honour to have as part of our Village.
