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 for our largest season ever. We will serve 800 kids in seven different school districts throughout the county this spring. We expect to provide over 300 pairs of new running shoes to kids who need them and have nearly 50% of all participants receive financial aid. Girls on the Run is only possible because of supporters such as yourself! We are grateful for our community for all the support they provide so girls and gender-expansive youth can be inspired to be healthy, joyful, and confident!
