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 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 of Snohomish County is excited and eager to empower more girls in our community! We are hard at work to ensure lots of teams are ready to support girls this spring! We are planning for in-person teams and we know girls in our community will benefit from the connections, community, and life-skills they'll learn. You can ensure every girl who wants to participate can join in the fun this spring!
How your contribution can impact a girl in our community:
- $200 covers the registration fee for one girl for the entire 10 week season!
- $100 covers for half the season for one girl
- $50 covers five practices for one girl

The full cost of our program is $450 PER GIRL. We receive around $100 per participant once we account for financial aid. We encourage you to help us fill that gap! We take pride in the high-quality program we provide at an affordable price with financial aid for any participant who needs it. Thanks to generous donations from our community we are able to keep costs for families low. Thank you!
