Mission Statement
The mission of Girls on the Run is to inspire girls to be joyful, healthy and confident using a fun, experience-based curriculum which creatively integrates running.
About This Cause
Girls on the Run is a transformational physical activity–based positive youth development program for girls in grades 3-8 designed to develop and enhance girls’ competencies to successfully navigate life experiences. Trained and supportive volunteer coaches teach life skills through dynamic, conversation-based lessons and running games, using the professionally developed Girls on the Run curriculum. The program culminates with the girls being physically and emotionally prepared to complete a celebratory 5k running event. The goals of the program are to develop and improve competence, unleash confidence through accomplishment, develop strength of character, learn to respond to others and oneself with care and compassion, create positive connections with peers and adults and make a meaningful contribution to community, all while establishing a lifetime appreciation of health and fitness. The participating girls receive 30 hours of programming over 20 lessons, and at the end of the 10-week program they accomplish their goal of successfully completing a 5K (3.1 mile) run.
