US skiing champ Lindsey Vonn, one of People magazine's ‘25 Women Changing the World' has said that she wants to empower and inspire young girls through the Lindsey Vonn Foundation which facilitates camps, scholarships, speaker series and educational programs.

"We try and help them gain confidence and pursue dreams even when people tell them they can't. I want to give girls hope. All girls can be inspired. Maybe you're getting bullied in school, or you're not confident, or a coach/teacher tells you you're not good enough. We want to help change that and help them believe in themselves," explained Vonn.
