# Purpose

## ***To promote good health and well-being, quality education, and gender equality in the goaltending community.***

Alongside our [Mission](/home/foundation/intro/mission.md) and [Vision](/home/foundation/intro/vision.md), our Purpose is focused on the holistic development of athletes by supporting three [UN Sustainable Development Goals](https://www.un.org/sustainabledevelopment/).

By serving the goaltending community, we advocate for the positive impact that sports can have on the well-being of individuals. We also offer financial aid and mental health support for the communities we serve, which reinforces the goal of good health and well-being.

Inclusive, free, and accessible education is the foundation for improving lives. By offering a multitude of educational content and literature, we are supporting the community and opening doors for learning to take place anywhere and everywhere.

We do not judge or select goaltenders for scholarships based on their gender. We believe gender equality is a fundamental human right and is essential to achieve a more productive and peaceful community. Full human potential and sustainable development should be accessible to all, which means empowering more women to pursue a career in goaltending.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://thegoalieguild.gitbook.io/home/foundation/intro/purpose.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
