What does it mean to BE BAWSI? 💜
Joy. Belonging. Leadership. Confidence. Inclusion. Community.
Our 2026 program video weaves together the voices of BAWSI alums with the magic of the BAWSI playgrounds.
“BAWSI is that one day each week filled with joy, laughter, belonging, and the confidence to say yes to challenges and lead.”
“BAWSI taught me to believe in myself when others didn’t.”
“As an athlete with a disability, I know what it feels like to be in spaces that weren’t designed for you. I know what it feels like to be told you don’t belong. But I’m here to tell you — we do belong.”
“BAWSI’s impact goes far beyond the time we spend on the playground. Because once you are BAWSI… You always are.”
Thank you to BAWSI alums for sharing their journeys and @iamsquint for capturing the BAWSI magic.

Over 100 BAWSI Middle Schooler girls spent the day discovering what it means to be a SJSU Spartan 💙💛
We began with a campus tour led by BAWSI staff and Spartan alums. Next up, the SJSU women’s volleyball team welcomed us to practice. A highlight was a panel discussion with athletes and coaches who shared what it takes to lead on and off the court.
A huge thank you to @sanjosestatevb and members of the SJSU Cheer team for making this such a memorable experience. 🎓🏐

A special thank you to everyone who joined us and shared their experiences. ✨
