Mission Statement
GirlTREK is one million Black women walking to heal our bodies, inspire our daughters and reclaim our neighborhoods. We’ll harness this power to extend life expectancy by 10 years for 24 million women and girls. GirlTREK began with a simple but life-saving promise between two friends: to walk their way to better health and inspire others to do the same; and it is now a grassroots movement powered by everyday women. We are the women we serve. Now, GirlTrek is mobilizing this constituency for its boldest mission yet: a Care Crusade to extend Black women’s life expectancy by 10 years in a decade. These bold campaigns—scaling to 5 million members, establishing community wellness hubs “Care Villages”, training a Blue Brigade of health responders, and advancing policies to dismantle systemic barriers—will build lasting systems of care and inspire future generations.
About This Cause
GirlTREK, the largest public health nonprofit for Black women and girls in the United States. With over 1.4 million neighborhood walkers, GirlTREK encourages women to use walking as a practical first step to inspire healthy living, families, and communities. As women organize walking teams, they mobilize community members to support monthly advocacy efforts and lead a civil rights-inspired health movement. Beyond walking, GirlTREK’s active members support local and national policy to increase physical activity through walking, improve access to safe places to walk, protect and reclaim green spaces, and improve the walkability and built environments of 50 high-need communities across the United States. With Partnership for a Healthier America, The Centers for Disease Control, Stanford Prevention Research Center, The American Council on Exercise, Safe Routes to School National Partnership, and The Sierra Club, GirlTREK has developed a world-class training for Black women to serve as health professionals in the areas of fitness, mental health, nutrition, and environmental stewardship. GirlTREK’s mission is to inspire one million Black women and girls to develop a daily habit of walking.
