I decided to be a SoleMate to bring young girls in Vermont greater access to Girls on the Run. As an alumna and current Assistant Coach, I am grateful for the opportunity to empower girls to be their true authentic selves, witness growth in their self-confidence and their self-worth.
It is tremendously rewarding to witness personal growth in the girls over the season, especially since I was a summer camp counselor a couple summers ago for some of the girls at a different program.
I volunteered for the VT City Marathon for five years helping out at water stations and the first year I volunteered, the water station was organized by Girls on the Run VT.
I look forward to running the VT City Marathon and being a SoleMate.
