Girls On The Run

Girls On The Run

Girls On The Run

About

Girls on the Run® is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization dedicated to creating a world where every girl knows and activates her limitless potential and is free to boldly pursue her dreams.

Meeting twice a week in small teams, we teach life skills through dynamic, interactive lessons and running games. The curriculum is taught by certified Girls on the Run coaches and includes three parts: understanding ourselves, valuing relationships and teamwork and understanding how we connect with and shape the world at large.

Running is used to inspire and motivate girls, encourage lifelong health and fitness, and build confidence through accomplishment. Important social, psychological, and physical skills and abilities are developed and reinforced throughout the program. At each season's conclusion, the girls and their running buddies complete a 5K running event which gives them a tangible sense of achievement as well as a framework for setting and achieving life goals. The result-making the seemingly impossible, possible, and teaching girls that they can.

    #LetsTellHer

    At Girls on the Run, we envision a world where every girl knows and activates her limitless potential. While we’ve made great strides in working toward equality, limiting messages and biases still hold many girls back. Through words and actions—intentionally and unintentionally—society tells girls how they should act and who they should be. It’s time to change the narrative. This March, in honor of Women’s History Month and International Women’s Day, Girls on the Run is asking supporters to join us in changing how we talk to girls by sharing the messages they want girls to hear using #LetsTellHer on social media.

    How Do You Measure a Girl's Potential?

    Girls on the Run is the only national physical activity-based positive youth development program for girls with compelling evidence of program impact. A recent independent study, conducted by Maureen R. Weiss, Ph.D., a leading expert on youth development, showed that the program is highly effective at driving transformative and lasting change in the lives of third to fifth grade girls.
