Girls on the Run is an interactive learning and running after school program for girls. The program combines training for a 5k run with a fun, innovative life skills curriculum. The 10-week afterschool program is led by trained volunteer coaches and addresses individual goals, group skills, and community involvement.
Our goal for each girl is to:
- Develop a positive self-image and strong sense of identity.
- Learn to respect peers and cooperate in a group.
- Build supportive relationships.
- Establish goals and celebrate her accomplishments
- Have fun!
Happy, self-confident, physically fit girls working together…that’s our goal!
Awesome Coaches: All GOTR volunteer coaches are passionate about healthy living and making a difference in the lives of young girls. Coaches are CPR and first aid certified.
Financial assistance: We want GOTR to be accessible to all girls, regardless of financial situation. Please submit your application for a Rec & Ed scholarship at least two weeks before the program begins. Click here for scholarship forms.
