OUR MISSION:
We use the power of running to change the way girls ages 8 - 13 see themselves and their opportunities. Girls learn to stretch themselves physically, mentally, emotionally, and socially while training for a 5K run. 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 program, the girls complete 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! The past few years have demonstrated that Girls on the Run is needed in our schools and in our communities. Our goal is to reach as many girls in our area as possible. We invite you to join us to expand to more schools and offer scholarships to girls who otherwise would not be able to afford this transformational program.
