It has been demonstrated, that in many underserved communities, barriers to participation exist based on a belief that there are specific family gender roles or that income should be prioritized on male family members first. The GPLA program is subsidized so that all girls can participate, regardless of economic inequalities or cultural barriers.

The overall Department gender equity goals are to encourage the participation of youth in sports and recreation programs and to; provide opportunities to youth for recreation, address under-representation in sports programs where one gender or another is not adequately represented, improve the representation of females assigned to the administration of sports and recreation programs, improve the representation of females in positions of leadership, increase the number of female coaches, referees, instructors, mentors and other role models, and to ensure that the Department is equitable in its distribution of resources for all youth.
