Nonprofit Overview
Causes: Children & Youth, Youth Development Programs
Mission: To inspire girls to be joyful, healthy and confident using a fun, experience-based curriculum which creatively integrates running.
Programs: Girls on the run is a program for girls in 3rd-8th grade that encourages girls to recognize their individual strengths and celebrate connections with others. Each season, girls gain a better understanding of who they are and what's important to them, the value of teamwork and healthy relationships and how they can have a positive impact on the world. Girls also make a meaningful contribution to their community through a team-organized community impact project. Physical activity is woven into the program to inspire an appreciation for fitness and healthy habits and teach life skills including treating others with care, practicing gratitude and managing emotions. Each season culminates with a girls on the run 5k event. This celebratory, non-competitive event provides girls with a sense of accomplishment and instills the value of goal setting at a young age. In fiscal year 2016/2017, we served 334 girls in 27 different school or community sites during two seasons. We gave 32. 9% of girls financial aid to enable them to participate.
