Community Connection | Spotlight On: Girls on the Run
Posted on April 12, 2018 by Laura Lucky
WHAT THEY DO:
“At Girls on the Run we inspire girls to recognize their inner strength and celebrate what makes them one of a kind. Trained coaches lead small teams through our research-based curricula which includes dynamic discussions, activities and running games. Over the course of the ten-week program, girls in 3rd-8th grade develop essential skills to help them navigate their worlds and establish a lifetime appreciation for health and fitness. The program culminates with girls positively impacting their communities through a service project and being physically and emotionally prepared to complete a celebratory 5k event.”
Girls learn confidence, character, care, connections and competence to help them navigate through adolescence and become outstanding pillars of their communities.
