Girls on the Run ("GOTR") is an organization which supports young girls through volunteer led running practices. Simultaneously integrated through running, Girls On The Run teaches confidence, mentorship, and health and body awareness. To support girls with involvement in sports like running is to foster confidence, friendship, sisterhood, and a life long of healthy habits. I also chose GOTR because my (almost!) sister-in-law, Libby, was a GOTR volunteer mentor. In addition to the substantial responsibilities of a first-year teacher, Libby persevered through her days and inspired young girls through running practices with GOTR.
