Who We Are
At Girls on the Run, our mission is to inspire girls to be joyful, healthy and confident. Targeting small groups of girls in third through eighth grades, we teach life skills through fun, engaging lessons that celebrate the joy of running. The 24-lesson curriculum is taught by volunteer coaches and includes three parts: understanding ourselves, valuing relationships and teamwork and understanding how we connect with and shape the world at large. Over the course of the program, girls will develop and improve competence, feel confidence in who they are, develop strength of character, respond to others and oneself with care and compassion, create positive connections with peers and adults, and make a meaningful contribution to community and society. At the conclusion of each season, the girls and their running buddies complete a 5k.
