The VOICEINSPORT (VIS) partnership with the WNBA Changemakers just got even better. With the most powerful Mentor class yet, we’re kicking off the third year of our partnership that connects girls in sport directly with professional athletes.
In 2024, VIS and the WNBA announced a partnership with the WNBA Changemakers collective that grants young athletes access to WNBA stars that have been where they are, felt what they feel, and made it to the highest level in sports.
More than mentorship, we're creating a movement to keep girls in sport and build future leaders.
Through virtual group sessions on the VIS platform and educational modules on mind, body, and nutrition in the VIS app, the VIS X WNBA collaboration is building the foundation for women athletes.
Our new class of 2026 VIS Mentors™ is ready to pour their knowledge into the next generation—covering everything from pre-game nerves to identity. Whether you’re navigating the pressures of competition, finding your passions outside of sport, or just looking for someone to talk to who has been in your shoes, your Mentor is here.
Get ready to choose your Mentor, because every girl needs a pro in their corner.

The 2026 class of WNBA Changemakers VIS Mentors™ has eight Mentors returning from the previous class.

Indiana Fever center Aliyah Boston is a trailblazer in women’s sports who values community and family over everything else. She’s passionate about growing the game and hosts a basketball camp for girls in her hometown of St. Thomas, USVI, during the offseason. But Boston wasn’t always all-in on basketball—she almost chose to play tennis instead.
Now, she talks to girls at VIS about passion, brand-building, self-doubt, navigating social media, balancing school and sport, and giving back to the community.
Choose AB7 for your team to build versatility and learn how to grow the game in your community.
