Our Mission:
We inspire girls to be joyful, healthy and confident using a fun, experience-based curriculum which creatively integrates running.
The Program:
Girls on the Run® is a 501(c)3 positive youth development program which combines an interactive curriculum and running to inspire self-respect and healthy lifestyles in pre-teen girls. Our core curriculum addresses many aspects of girls’ development – their physical, emotional, mental and social well-being. Lessons help girls make positive decisions to avoid risky adolescent behaviors. At the end of each 10 week program the girls run a celebratory 5K to experience the exhilarating feeling of accomplishment. However, at Girls on the Run, the finish line is just the beginning, as our ultimate goal is to provide the girls with tools and resources that develop their ability to think critically - a skill that will serve them well for a lifetime.
OUR GOAL:
Girls on the Run is growing by leaps and bounds! In the past year alone, we have experienced amazing growth in the number of girls we serve! Our goal is to continue this kind of growth until we can reach as many girls in our area as possible. We invite you to join us by helping us financially to expand to more schools and offer financial assistance to girls who otherwise would not be able to afford this transformational program.
Your generosity ensures that all girls have the opportunity to participate in our transformational program.
