Nonprofit Overview
Causes: Amateur Sports, Sports
Mission: Our 20-lesson curriculum combines training for a 5k 3. 1 miles running event with lessons that inspire girls to become independent thinkers, enhance their problem solving skills and make healthy decisions.
Programs: During the year ended 6/30/17 we served 1,009 girls, including many on scholarship. Using 600 volunteers meeting twice a week in small teams of 8-15 from 3rd to 5th grade, and separate groups from 6th to 8th grade, girls learned life skills through dynamic, conversation-based lessons and running games. The curriculum is designed to allow every girl to recognize her inner strength, make new friends, build confidence, and develop life skills that will help them as they move through adolescence and beyond. The season culminates with the fall 5k and spring 5k celebratory events that give them a tangible sense of goal achievement.
