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 girls in our community! We had a fantastic first season in the Fall 2015, reaching 40 girls on four teams. We will have 10 teams for our Spring 2016 season, reaching over 100 girls! By the end of our third year we will have at least 25 teams throughout Snohomish County and will serve 375 girls each season!
To reach our goals and provide a high quality, sustainable program we need your help!
