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.
