About This Cause
Girls on the Run is a physical activity-based positive youth development program (PA-PYD) designed to develop and enhance girls’ social, psychological, and physical competencies to successfully navigate life experiences. Over the course of the program girls will, develop and improve competence, feel confidence in who they are, develop strength of character, respond to others and oneself with care and compassion, create positive connections with peers and adults, and make a meaningful contribution to community and society. Such life skills will prevent unhealthy and risky behaviors, such as physical inactivity and negative body image, and promote positive health outcomes (e.g., physical, mental, social, and spiritual health). We strive to: • Recognize our power and responsibility to be intentional in our decision making • Embrace our differences and find strength in our connectedness • Express joy, optimism and gratitude through our words, thoughts and actions • Nurture our physical, emotional and spiritual health • Lead with an open heart and assume positive intent • stand up for ourselves and others
