Mission Statement
Girls on the Run of Greater Cincinnati, Inc. (GOTR) is a physical-based positive youth program that inspires 3rd-8th grade girls to be joyful, healthy and confident, using a fun experience-based curriculum which creatively integrates running. We envision a world where every girl knows and activates her limitless potential and is free to boldly pursue her dreams.
About This Cause
Girls on the Run of Greater Cincinnati (GOTR) is a physical-based positive youth program with a national research-based curriculum intended to inspire individuals of all abilities to discover, build, and grow their self-confidence. The program is split into three distinct sections that build upon each other - Identity, Connectedness and Empowerment - and over the course of the program the girls develop life skills; confidence, competence, caring, connection, character, and contribution. These life skills contribute to healthy development through the promotion of holistic healthy habits and prevention of unhealthy and risky outcomes. We have a spring and fall program; each are 10-week, 20 sessions led by trained volunteer coaches who facilitate lessons that blend physical activity with life skill development, including managing emotions, fostering friendships, and expressing empathy. Girls participate in small teams of 8-16 girls, right at their school or local community center. Together, they experience a sense of belonging and connection. They learn to recognize their own strengths as well as the strengths of others and how to work together to build a stronger community. During their time together, each team completes a community impact project that they choose. At the end of each season all teams come together in downtown Cincinnati to participate in a fun, non-competitive 5K celebration, which provides a tangible sense of accomplishment and sets a confident mindset into motion. We know our finish line is just their beginning.
